“Too powerful film!”
Raï is about a gang of youths in a Parisian suburb.This is the multicultural environment in which Mezz, Aziz, Laurent, Nordine, Poisson and the others have grown up. There is no future in Garges-les-Gonesses. Unemployment is high, drugs and violence are a part of everyday life. The opportunity to escape seems nonexistent.
A stark, unflinching look at life on the fringes. It captures the restless energy and simmering frustration of youth in a forgotten suburb, where hope is a scarce commodity and the streets dictate the terms of survival.
