“I experienced a social mix that no longer exists and that’s infuriating”

What to do when his school no longer attracts because it is in the middle of the city and concrete and lacks everything, teachers and blackboards to write the lessons? In “The Court of Miracles”, on the screens on September 28, Rachida Brakni is a school principal who struggles with her teachers to ensure that her establishment survives. His office is that of complaints but also of legitimate requests when a mother of Algerian origin asks this crucial question: “Where are the blondes here?”

The subject of social diversity is at the heart of the film directed by Carine May and Hakim Zouhani who were respectively a teacher and sports educator before going behind the camera. “I have personally known a socially mixed school and the problem with the school map is that it has redrawn a territory. We end up with an impoverished school with only poor people on one side and on the other private schools where not everyone has the means to go”, believes the actress, guest of the weekend morning show.

“We know what gives unequal opportunities”

“I grew up in a district of Essonne with a suburban area near my school where the children of doctors, executives, cleaning ladies met… This mix no longer exists and that’s infuriating because school is the place where everything is built and we know what inequality of opportunity gives afterwards”, details the actress who replies to Gilbert Melki, Anaïde Rozam or the singer Disiz in this theatrical film this Wednesday, September 28.
