Marieme is sixteen, black and lives in the high rise suburbs of Paris. She has reached an age when life should be full of possibilities, instead she finds herself boxed in by society’s expectations, peer pressure and limited opportunities. Excluded from school and wary of her violent older brother, Marieme takes sanctuary in a girl gang, renaming herself ‘Vic’ for Victory. The film captures her changing appearance and growing confidence as she moves from timid schoolgirl to defiant, leather-clad gang member in a film told with brash energy, insight and a blistering soundtrack.
12 Rose Street, Glasgow, G3 6RB.
