00:00Our French media talk a lot about immigration, blacks, Arabs, etc.
00:05Well, this documentary really gives a voice to minorities like the black minority.
00:10And I present to you the documentary "Black in France" for my week of the International Day of the Fight Against Racism and Anti-Semitism.
00:15racism.
00:16Can one be French and yet have to prove that one truly is?
00:19This is the central question of the documentary Noir en France.
00:22This documentary gives a voice to several Black French people who recount their daily experiences.
00:27at work, in the media, at school or in public spaces.
00:31Many describe the same reality: having to constantly answer the question
00:35"Where are you from? But where are you really from?"
00:39And above all, even if you were born in France.
00:42The film also shows how certain representations inherited from colonial history
00:47continue to influence French society.
00:49These stereotypes can appear in the media, in the workplace, or in popular culture.
00:54To understand this phenomenon, one can read La Condition Noire by Pape Ndiaye.
00:59In this book, the historian explains that Black French people often share a common experience.
01:04that of being both fully French and yet regularly perceived as foreigners.
01:09The documentary does not only seek to denounce racism,
01:12It also shows the diversity of backgrounds and identities in contemporary France.
