About AZF: French Factory Explosion
21 September 2001, 10h17. In the AZF factory, in Toulouse, France, a storage of around 300 tons ammonium nitrate exploded, injuring thousands and killing 31 people. 20 years later, never seen before footage and unpublished interviews show the minute by minute of this industrial disaster, the biggest in French history since WWII.
Directed by Simon Kessler, AZF: French Factory Explosion leans on a strong ensemble — Jérôme Sau, Paul Borne — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2021.
