Three directors follow up racist clichés and prejudice in order to better deconstruct them. Episode 1: We, the Arabs. In what takes the shape of a journalistic investigation, a triad of directors decide to go to the bottom of racist clichés and prejudice in order to question and deconstruct them. They contrast their own peculiarities with antisemitic, xenopohobic and racist discourse produced by activists, politicians, or commentators in the press. From these exchanges, which can sometimes be abrupt and often icy, the contradictions inherent in ideological excess become palpable, even as they seem to become commonplace in contemporary French society. Episode 1: We, The Arabs.
