“Oussekine” publishes the Official Trailer, which tells the story of the Oussekine family fighting for justice.
1986, December 5th. As student protests rock the city of Paris and leave the police on high alert.
A 22 year-old student Malik Oussekine, on his way home from a jazz concert, is chased down by police, beaten, and dies in a stairwell in the 6th arrondissement.
His death shocked the nation and Malik’s name became a rallying cry for resistance to police brutality.
For the first time in a TV drama, Oussekine will explore Malik’s death and his grieving family’s fight for justice, as well as the difficult integration of an Algerian family in France in the 80s.
The play traces the events from the beginning to the end, shows the shattering of the family’s hopes and ideals, and depicts a precarious period in France.
