In Pantine.

So Rashid Bouchard chooses to pursue two battered families who have lost a brother in the hands of a repressive, poorly trained police force and under pressure from the Interior Ministry, which is trying to quell these mistakes and police violence. On these two occasions that echo each other and that terribly echo the news, the filmmaker takes the title of 1986, which has been shaken by student demonstrations in Paris against Devake’s reform.

And this cry is felt more from the heart of the oppressed young man thanks to the archival images in the film, which are not only used as an illustration, but also formulate and shape a sober history, imbued with great humanity and imbued with galvanic fraternal energy faced by rebellious voices like Mano Negra and Reno.
