Sarkozys bærme: Sylvain George, Kourtrajmé og Frankrigs ekskluderede

On 29 October 2005, the Parisian suburbs were in flames. Young descendants of Arab and African immigrants set fire to cars, schools, police stations, and other symbols of the society from which they felt excluded. The scene was reminiscent of Mathieu Kassovitz' 1995 Cannes-winning film "La Haine" ("Hatred"), which focused on unemployment, racism, and the violent clashes between the police and young people in the suburbs of Paris. An increasing number of film directors are taking up the subject in their films. In particular, activist and documentary filmmaker Sylvain George's 2009 film "L'Impossible," produced by Kourtrajmé Productions, highlights the exclusion of immigrants and refugees from French society.
