Youth, Race & Cultural Identity
In Europe Today
Designed to support teaching in African Studies, European Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, Education, Youth Studies, Cultural Studies, Religious Studies, Film and Media Studies, Migration Studies, and related disciplines, this three-film collection explores how young people of African and immigrant backgrounds navigate identity, race, religion, family, and belonging in contemporary Europe. Set in Belgium, France, and the United Kingdom, these award-winning dramas examine the pressures facing young people as they confront discrimination, cultural expectations, radicalization, and the search for their place within increasingly diverse European societies.
The collection includes:
Amal follows a courageous literature teacher in Brussels who encourages her students to think critically and express themselves freely despite mounting pressure from religious extremism within her school community. As she challenges intolerance and defends freedom of expression, the film explores the complex intersections of education, identity, secularism, and multiculturalism in contemporary Belgium.
Fevers centers on Benjamin, a troubled thirteen-year-old who leaves foster care to live with the father he has never known in a working-class suburb of Paris. As tensions within the family grow, the film explores adolescence, masculinity, family relationships, immigrant communities, and the search for identity within contemporary France.
Brides tells the story of two British Muslim teenagers who leave the United Kingdom for Syria after feeling increasingly isolated by racism, exclusion, and online extremist propaganda. Inspired by real events, the film examines adolescent vulnerability, friendship, identity formation, and the consequences of alienation while challenging simplistic narratives about radicalization.
Together, these films offer a compelling framework for examining the lived experiences of immigrant and minority youth in Europe today. They encourage critical discussion of race, identity, education, religion, family, citizenship, social exclusion, radicalization, cultural integration, and the challenges of growing up between multiple cultures. Ideal for classroom use, the collection provides valuable perspectives on the evolving realities of multicultural and multiracial Europe.
Purchase includes perpetual institutional streaming access with Public Performance Rights (PPR) to all three films.
