PARIS 2005

The "accidental" death of two teenagers at Clichy-sous-Bois touched off a series
of violent riots that raged through France in November 2005. And for the unsuspecting
international public opinion, from behind the ashes of thousands of torched
vehicles there emerged the ghost of an unknown Europe, as well as of an unknown
France, which keeps well hidden its millions of "second-class" citizens. The camera
enters the inaccessible Parisian ghettos, the heart of the riots. And it records the
anger of the youths who are stifled with no recourse other than theft and drug peddling.
The screen reveals for the first time to the world the armament of the rioters.
Small-bore guns, automatics, sawed-off shotguns and rifles. The youths show photographs
of themselves carrying machine guns... Through searing imagery and with
almost no other narrative than the lyrics of the songs of the ghetto, the documentary
presents the unknown European citizens of the cités; the dark side of modern
Europe, an unknown France of five million besieged and ghetto-bound citizens.

Why black out the eyes of those foolish cowards? Quest qui passe- les petit bebe son't peur? Just comme les lache en Angleterre.... la honte du France et la honte de L'angleterre.

@pitsimitsi Expensive is very relative term. If the guns are stolen, then selling them for "cheap" still gives the seller large profits. The specific guns you mentioned to the specific people- how would any of us know? In general, people who own illegal guns and want to make a profit would be the ones selling them. If someone does not have enough money to buy a gun, one option would be to rob or steal to gain money... You couldn't figure this out on your own?
