Documentary • 2022 • 115 min

Directed by Alice Diop, this French documentary follows the RER B train line as it cuts through Paris and its suburbs, pausing to observe the people living in those often-overlooked corridors. The film is a mosaic of individual portraits tied together by geography and quiet attention. Its Progressive label follows directly from its subject matter: the communities centered here are largely immigrant, working-class, and racially diverse, and the camera treats their lives with deliberate empathy. That framing, grounding the film in voices from the margins of French society, carries an implicit political argument about who belongs and who gets seen. Both Islamic and Christian faith appear with positive treatment, softening any sharper edge.
