“A white-knuckle dramatization.” – The Hollywood Reporter

Considered so important that the French Ministry of Education has decided it must be shown in schools. Refusing to sugarcoat the Gang of Barbarians’ month-long kidnapping of Ilan Halimi – a 23-year-old, Jewish, Parisian telephone vender – this intelligent and timely film dramatises the true story of a mother fighting for the release of her son.
