SYNOPSIS:
1989 - In the underprivileged neighborhoods of the 93 district, a group of friends finds a means of expression through the newly arrived hip-hop movement in France. After dance and graffiti, JoeyStarr and Kool Shen start writing rap lyrics infused with the simmering anger of the suburbs. Their fiery beats and rebellious lyrics quickly ignite crowds—and clash with authorities. But no matter, Suprême NTM is born, and with it, French rap makes a groundbreaking debut!
Awards and Nominations: Sandor Funtek was nominated for Best Promising Actor at the César Ceremony 2022.
