Made in France


Watch Trailer

Fascinated and horrified by the rise in ‘home grown’ radicals, ambitious journalist Sam goes undercover in an extremist cell in Paris, determined to uncover the roots of the phenomenon. Following his initiation into the group, events accelerate at an alarming rate and soon Sam finds himself in mortal danger as the wildly unpredictable leader of the cell plans an attack in the heart of Paris. MADE IN FRANCE delves into the minds of young radicals, exploring the duality of desire and desperation that draws young people into the arms of terrorist organizations. The desire to belong, to be part of something bigger than themselves, the desire for fame, and the promise of eternal glory. The desperation of circumstance: poverty, lack of opportunity, disillusionment. A searingly prescient thriller about domestic extremism, MADE IN FRANCE’s theatrical release was pulled indefinitely due to actual acts of violence in France. The film’s production was completed in late 2014, shortly before attacks on satirical publication Charlie Hebdo‘s offices in January 2015.
