About the Director: 

Isabelle Wekstein-Steg is a lawyer, founder and associate of the law cabinet WAN, specialized in business law, social law and intellectual property, which includes more than 20 lawyers. 
For more than 10 years, she has been dedicated to the fight against racism and antisemitism. 
In 2003 she participated in the creation of the "Informal Group" composed of members of the civil society, aimed at the creation of a new alliance, bringing together (but not only) French Jews and Arabs, to fight antisemitism and racism. Starting in 2005, Isabelle Wekstein-Steg intervenes, in a pioneering approach, in high-schools with the purpose of fighting prejudice and intolerance in the school environment, and to stop the trivialization of antisemitic and racist speech and acts. 
In 2013, she co-directed with David Teboul a first film "Intimate Portrait - Interviews with Ady Steg".

Mohamed Ulad was born in Tangier in Morocco. After a license in plastic arts and a master from the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, Mohamed produced several feature films. He has directed and produced about 40 documentaries and features and won awards in numerous festivals. In 2009 he created the Association Les prejudices (Prejudices Association) with Isabelle Wekstein with whom he intervenes in secondary schools on the themes of discriminations and of identity.

It is also a graduate of the Film Business School in Madrid and of ACE (European Film Studio) 
Award of the Best Young Film Producer of the year (Fondation Lagardère) 
Resident of the Villa Medici in Rome. Winner of Variety’s "Fifty to Watch".

They seem to strongly dismiss their attachment to France and claim a new communitarianism. At the same time, these young people cling to the culture and traditions of their countries of origin, their parents&#39; country; a country they barely know and where, when they have the chance to go there, they are sometimes treated as immigrants. This identity crisis, to which is added a feeling of not belonging anywhere, generates the emergence of prejudice towards themselves and others. Contributions by historians, psychoanalysts, political scientists as well as their teachers make it possible for viewers to understand the complexity of the identity feelings of these young people. Confronted with the questioning of their teachers and outside contributors; without their usual reference marks and the influence of the group, they become aware of their contradictions and seem to shed their prejudice.</span></p>
