La Haine - 30th Anniversary

In the organizer's words:

30 years after its premiere, LA HAINE has lost none of its explosive power and is more relevant than ever in its relentless criticism of social inequality, racism and police violence. A cinematic outburst of rage that shaped generations and whose influence continues to this day. Mathieu Kassovitz, who was only 27 at the time, was awarded the prize for best director for LA HAINE at the Cannes Film Festival, while the leading actors Vincent Cassel, Saïd Taghmaoui and Hubert Koundé laid the foundations for great careers with their impressive performances.

PLAION PICTURES is bringing the film back to theaters restored in 4K for its 30th anniversary on August 6.

It's any given morning in some social housing ghetto in a banlieue, a suburb of Paris. It's a state of emergency!

After a night of violence between the police and a group of youths, there is open warfare between the two parties. A 16-year-old struggles with death after being brutally beaten up during an interrogation.

The boys Hubert, Said and Vinz are on the front line in the fight against the police, driven by their hatred of the system. It is a day that will change their lives.
