To be fifteen in France's ghettos (banlieues).
Excellent discussion of the state of the "banlieues" in France, ten years after the riots that caused France's previous State of Emergency in the winter of 2005.
Calvi's TV show, "C dans l'air" is probably the best discussion forum on French TV. Notice what is said about denial of reality (what's called "angélisme"). About recidivism (it is false that prison causes recividism: "prisons do not cause recidivism; recidivists eventually end up in prison"). About impunity (minors know that they risk nothing "je suis mineur, on ne peut rien contre moi"). About the billions wasted (according to the very official Cour de Comptes). About the drug trade. About the changing population. About increasing violence. And more...(in French). If you blog about France or teach students about France, this is a good video to watch and discuss.
Broadcast on October 28, 2015 - two weeks before the Paris Attacks, "Avoir 15 ans dans les banlieues" was watched on TV by 1.7 million people in France.
