Le repli
Le repli

Set against a backdrop of restricted freedoms, curbs on the right to demonstrate, police violence, Islamophobia and systemic racism, Le repli examines the phenomenon of identity withdrawal in France. Director Joseph Paris meets human rights activist Yasser Louati. Together, they take a look at France from the 1980s to the present day. They analyse political and media rhetoric by comparing current events with archives. Why are our freedoms steadily being eroded?
