How does cinema look at actresses and actors of color?

Racism, discrimination, quota policy: the actress Aïssa Maïga and her co-director Isabelle Simeoni conducted the investigation, from Brazil to the United Kingdom via the United States and, of course, France.

The result: an enthralling documentary, “Regard noir” broadcast on Canal Plus and MyCanal.
