100% Arabica (NR)

synopsis

One hundred percent Arabic is what the locals call their rent controlled neighborhood on the outskirts of Paris. Two leaders of a "Rap Oriental" band run into conflict with the imam Slimane who runs his mosque on the kickbacks he strong-arms from local merchants. The mayor, who is up for re-election, backs Slimane on the theory that religion will keep the neighborhood delinquents out of trouble.
