What do black French people have in common? Not much, except their skin color and the racism they experience. This is what the documentary “Blacks in France” by French director Aurélia Perreau and Franco-Congolese writer Alain Mabanckou, professor of French and Francophone literature, airs on Tuesday January 18 at 9:10 p.m. (Paris time) on France. Televisions.
This film retraces the individual trajectories, the singular paths of protagonists, known or not, who still come up against prejudice, humiliation and injustice linked to their skin color. They talk about their shared experiences but also about what makes them proud as Afro-descendants, their sources of inspiration, their right to dream and to reverse social determinism.
