Overview

- The inquiry is depicted through documentary-like methods, including smartphone and surveillance video analysis, extensive interrogations, and on-the-ground fieldwork.
- Moll grounded the screenplay in reporting and direct access, reading Mediapart and Le Monde, meeting legal professionals, immersing with the Paris IGPN, observing a command room, and attending a protest.
- Selected in competition at Cannes, the film reaches French theaters on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, as it revisits the contentious crowd-control decisions of the 2018 movement.
