Gilles Perret’s documentary serves as a sociological look at a political movement rather than a study of specific identity politics. Its main strength lies in documenting class struggle and engaging with post-colonial themes, which challenge traditional views of French national identity. However, the film remains largely indifferent to specific underrepresented groups. It lacks meaningful representation for the LGBTQ+ community and individuals with disabilities, treating these groups as secondary to the broader political movement. Ultimately, the film excels as a critique of economic and institutional structures but falls short in exploring multi-layered identities deeply.
