One morning in a cement ghetto in a Parisian suburb. After a night of violence between the police and a group of young people, the atmosphere is tense. A 16-year-old is fighting for his life after being brutally beaten during an interrogation. His friends are driven by hatred for the system and swear revenge. Thirty years after its premiere, LA HAINE has lost none of its explosive power and is more relevant than ever in its unsparing critique of social inequality, racism, and police violence.
