On n'est pas des marques de vélo

2002 - 89 min - DV Cam - Couleur - France

Bouda, a 30-year-old hip-hop dancer, has been an illegal immigrant since the age of three, when he arrived in France with his parents. Today, he is the victim of the "double condemnation", a law by which the children of immigrants who have served prison terms are sent back to their country of origin upon their release. This musical film, which blends hip-hop dancing and rap music, examines the discriminatory practices of the French government in applying this law. It also deals with the collective and individual adventure of the hip-hop movement, which first emerged in in France in the northern suburbs of Paris in the 80's
