Genre-Drama

Inspiration- Kassovitz started writing the script after he was inspired by the shooting of Makome M'Bowole in 1993. He was killed whilst in police custody at point blank. The officer claimed that M'Bowole was angering him and whilst he was threatening him, the gun went off accidentally. It is said that Kassovitz was also inspired by the death of Malik Oussekine, a 22 year old protester, whom was beaten to death by riot police after a mass demonstration in 1986, in which he didn't take part.
