This Friday (May 8th) we are showing a celebrated French classic film "La Haine". It follows Vinz, a Jew, Saïd, an Arab, and Hubert, a black boxer, over the course of 24 hours in the Parisian suburbs in the 1990s, when diversity coupled with the racist and oppressive police force have raised tensions to a critical breaking point. La Haine (Hatred) was nominated for the Palm D’Or at Cannes, and its director Mathieu Kassovitz won the Best Director award there. Hard-hitting and breathtakingly effective, La Haine takes an uncompromising look at long-festering social and economic divisions affecting 1990s Paris.
