Musulmans de France

Episode 1: Indigènes 1904 - 1945
Episode 2: Immigrés 1945 - 1981
Episode 3: Français 1981 - 2009

What does it mean to be a Muslim in France today? Does it mean belief in God and prayer? Having roots on the other side of the Mediterranean? How did Islam become France’s second religion in 100 years?
This exciting fresco retraces a century of Muslim presence in France. From the arrival of several thousand Kabyles in the mines of the north in 1904 to the nominations of Rachida Dati, Fadela Amara and Rama Yade to the government in 2007. A tumultuous history of attraction and rejection. Violence and love. Our common history.
