Paris Rebels examines the little known history of black youth in Paris in the 1980s and 90s organizing to defend themselves against brutal attacks by skinheads and Neo-Nazis. Inspired by the culture of defiance in early American hip-hop, they organized a novel form of contentious politics in the streets.
