Les Misérables - Sunday 1st November 5pm

Another attempt to show Les Misérables after technical problems prevented our screening a few weeks ago.  

It's not another remake of Victor Hugo's novel, but based on the same poverty and police injustice in the same suburbs of Paris. We follow the first two days of rookie cop Stéphane with his two jaded fellow policemen, Gwada and Chris, whose techniques veer definitely off-law, harassing teenagers and annoying the already pent-up locals. When a lion is stolen from a travelling circus, a riot situation follows, filmed by a small boy on his drone-cam; the police cannot hush up their tactics this time...
