Presentation

"My name is Nabil Wakim and I am illiterate in my mother tongue. Arabic is the second most widely spoken language in France, yet it is barely taught in the national education system. If I'm no good at Arabic, is it my fault, my parents' fault, the Republic's fault? Why does Arabic have such a special place in France?"

Distribution

Conceived and hosted by Nabil Wakim, journalist and director of Mauvaise langue (projected in the Territoires cinématographiques), accompanied by several guests
