1971 · 35 min
A sobering, talk-driven immersion into migrant lives, then a sharp animated turn that reframes everything as post-colonial critique.

- Overview
- African migrants in Paris talk about everyday life and racism on the labour and housing markets. The chanson from which the film takes its title sings of misery on people’s own doorstep. Hondo then switches to another mode to continue his analysis of social conditions: never has the post-colonial state of the world been summarised as succinctly as in the closing animated sequence.
