The Guardian has published an extract from a statement on Matthieu Kassovitz's website. Kassovitz is the acclaimed director of La Haine and in his statement he discusses the recent unrest in France. It is a heartfelt piece, appealling for dialogue and understanding between the government and the rioters. "Zero Tolence works both ways" he says, without "raprochement" the unrest will continue. It seems that France has to ask itself some difficult questions about the nature of integration and racial diversity. More information here about Kassovitz and more at The Guardian.
