La Haine

So, this is a few clips from the 1995 French film La Haine, about a day in the life of three young men--one Algerian, one Jewish, and one Cameroonian(?)--in a poor neighbourhood in Paris, the day after a series of violent anti-police riots have taken place.

WARNING: Don't watch if you plan to ever see the movie.

So far, everything's fine. So far, everything's fine. But it's not that fall that matters--it's how you land."
