Declaration
film director
“Aristotle, Azdine, Yohaline and Fatma are the new young adults in France today, gased up by Facebook and gangsta rappers. But beyond a suburban youth violent and aggressive cliché, they love and dream like everyone else. Azdine was an obvious choice for our transmitter, our path mediator. He was the most nostalgic from the trip, but also found in it a real desire and strenght to build a different future for himself.”
