Who Will Win

Ennemis Intérieurs is a French drama that looks at 1990s policeman accusing a French Algerian-born man of protecting a terrorist. Not because the police have any evidence but because how the person look. The movie hits hard how an individual in a position of power and authority can hold the fate of someone’s life. Many have drawn parallels to what is happening in America police and the African-American community.
