Living in Lyon's banlieu

In this documentary, residents of French suburban slums (banlieue) tell their stories of exclusion and discrimination by employers and the legal and prison systems which prevent them from participating in French society and 'normal' life. As they see it, they are paralyzed by marginalization, while the rest of society enjoys economic prosperity and consumerism. It is a downward spiral with no way out; the documentary exposes their plight and illustrates the ways in which government and society maintain these circumstances.

There are people who hate others, no matter their origins, just because they are different but mostly because they don't know them, they don't understand them and thus they are afraid. "Muslims hate France" and "France hate Muslims" or "they are here for getting chomage" are generalisations, simplifications and not true at all. Life in the "banlieues" is so damn hard. No hope, no horizon. Discrimination is a fact, but it is no solution. Understanding, communicating & working together is better.
