May: Un prophète (2009) Director: Jacques Audiard Starring: Tahar Rahim, Niels Arestrup, Adel Bencherif
Sentenced to six years in a French prison, Malik El Djebena is alone in the world and can neither read nor write. To get by, he aligns himself with a powerful Corsican mob boss, steadily working his way up through the ranks, until his success brings him into conflict with his mentor.
Discussions will take place on the fourth Monday of each month. Participants are encouraged to watch the film via streaming before attending the discussion.
