The French Democracy

Here's one of the more talked about movies made through The Movies: The French Democracy. It's well worth a watch! It's a story of racism in France, the power of "authority" (police and politicians), disaffected youth, and the riots in the French suburbs. Perhaps it's a bit caricatured, but it's great use of the medium to look at social issues. Thirteen minutes, using only the soundtrack effects in The Movies, subtitled, but it still is quite an effective narrative.
