Black Soldier
France, 1986. When Hughes, a young black guy, discovers the new Freetime advertisement campaign, it’s a shock and an offense. France, the country where he is born, considers him as a cannibal.
This is the start of a radical awareness, fed by anger and frustration.
This is the rise of the Black Soldier.
