Tuesday evening, France 2 broadcast

Blacks in France

, a two-part documentary on racism, discrimination and humiliation suffered by black people in France.

"We wanted this film to be an opportunity for black people in France to speak out, to express their concerns but also their pride, to claim their identity, their multiple trajectories, to finally be the subject of their own history", explained in their note of intent the director Aurélia Perreau and the writer Alain Mabanckou, who gave his voice to tell this documentary.

The prejudices linked to black skin are still tenacious.
