The Probashi project has produced four short autobiographical films on the life experiences in France of Bangladeshi nationals living in the Île-de-France region and the barriers they face to healthcare access.

The development of this creative research project raises questions about issues of involvement and how participants are generated, in the context of methodological reflections on participatory research.

The material and subjective availability of the participants determines involvement and production in the different stages of the filmed research, from data collection to the reporting of the results.

The conditions that ensure the involvement of participants, in particular those that are socially vulnerable, must be factored into the participatory research arrangements themselves.
