A furious cry of resistance against racist oppression and a revolutionary landmark of political cinema, this feature debut from Mauritanian director Med Hondo is a bitterly funny, dazzlingly experimental attack on capitalism and the legacy of colonialism.

Follow a starry-eyed immigrant as he leaves West Africa and journeys to Paris in search of a job, a community, and intellectual engagement—but soon discovers a hostile society where his very presence engenders fear and resentment.

Screening as a part of the London Migration Film Festival – holding its 10th annual edition from Thu 27 Nov – Wed 03 Dec 2025, aiming to challenge the narrow rhetoric on migration, often framed in reductive and dehumanising binaries.
