Banlieue bleue

“``` A gospel choir has been formed at a so-called "sensitive" middle school in the Paris suburbs. Overview The Bobigny middle school has long had a bad reputation; it was one of the first schools in France to be classified as a "sensitive" zone. It was thanks to the initiative of the very passionate Jean-Louis Trucard, the music teacher, that a gospel choir was started. Led by Manda Djinn, an American singer, 60 students from all backgrounds are learning to sing and develop group discipline. Between stage fright and rehearsals, this is the story of a countdown to the grand final concert. This film was made possible thanks to the Jazz Banlieues Bleues festival in Seine-Saint-Denis and the support of the France Télécom Foundation. ```”
