La Marche, directed by Nabil Ben Yadir in 2013, tells the story of a gang of young people from the Minguettes neighborhood in Vénissieux, who in 1983 organized a peaceful march from Marseille to Paris. They protested against racist crimes and police brutality they experienced.
Inspired by what is usually called "La Marche des Beurs" (The March for Equality and Against Racism), this film is a reminder of a forgotten page in French history: the collective adventure of immigrants' children , united around Djamel Atallah, Toumi Djaïdja and Father Christian Delorme, who fought for their rights and proclaimed loud and clear: "we are from here". This is the true story of the Minguettes marchers.
