Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released after France's 2020 racial reckoning, the film sparked debate about whether it mocked or honored Black French activism—Zadi insisted both were possible.
The real Omar Sy playing a heightened version of himself refusing to join the protest became the film's most discussed scene, blurring reality and satire completely.
