The Flag

by Joseph Paris
Drôle de Trame
| 90’&52’ | France | 2023 | |
The Flag is a documentary essay that documents the intensification of an identity-based discourse that has become dominant in France and the decline in civil liberties. It goes to meet those who suffer the effects and who together try to resist it: exiles, Muslim citizens, inhabitants of working-class neighborhoods and activists. The film focuses on deconstructing the political and journalistic discourse that has supported this hardening of attitudes over the past thirty years. Confronting current events with archival footage, The Flag is a committed film, written in the first person, which enlightens and alerts.
