Le Détour

The story will take place at the end of the century and the beginning of the next. A society that is also a bit closed. This is a portrait of a woman around seventy years old.

The film features emblematic figures of the fight against police brutality in France: Ramata Dieng, sister of Lamine Dieng, Assa Traoré, sister of Adama Traoré, as well as Mahamadou Camara, brother of Gaye Camara, Farid El Yamni, brother of Wissam El Yamni, and Awa Gueye, sister of Babacar Gueye. The film also includes rare intimate interviews of young men of color from 'Banlieues' (working class neighborhoods) who expose how they have endured police repression throughout their lives and how it has impacted them.
