Who watches the watchmen?
Systemic racism in Europe and the United States has a direct impact on the daily lives of racialised people. From racial profiling to police violence that can lead to death, police institutions are often denounced and yet rarely condemned. In theory, peacekeepers are supposed to ensure our safety. Does this mean that the use of legitimate force is fair? How can we ensure that those who injure or kill are held to account? Is a police-free society possible?

The Flag
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?
