The Prisoners of St-Nazaire | M6 | 66 minutes

Their story hit the headlines this weekend. For more than three years now four children have been living as prisoners in a social housing apartment in Saint Nazaire. Their father, the only person who ever left the home, even went so far as to padlock the windows and block up all the ventilation shafts. Mildew and peeling walls… It was a real slum, an indescribable stench that fire fighters discovered last weekend. How did this family sink so low? How were neighbours, the apartment block management and social services able to ignore the situation and say nothing? For the first time, members of the family speak out.
