Paul Meyer

Paul Meyer was born in Limal in 1920, to a mother from the Borinage. He studied at La Cambre, in Brussels, and worked for the theatre before moving into cinema; his first film, shot in a brickworks, denounced the exploitation of workers and was censored. Accused afterwards of misappropriating public funds, he was sentenced to repay them all his life, and his career as a filmmaker ended there. From then on he worked for television, in Wallonia and in Brussels, where his investigations again met with censorship, and he died in 2007.
