La Haine

Vincent Cassel stars in this cult French drama written and directed by Mathieu Kassovitz.

Set in a poor suburb outside Paris, three youths, Vinz (Cassel), Hubert (Hubert Koundé) and Said (Saïd Taghmaoui), become involved in anti-police riots following a police attack that results in their friend Abdel (Abdel Ahmed Ghili) being put in a coma.

When Vinz finds a police revolver, he threatens to shoot an officer if his friend does not pull through.
