ALI IN WONDERLAND
Ali au pays des merveilles
Synopsis
Ali in Wonderland exposes in plain sight the condition of the female and male immigrant workers in and around Paris in the 1970s. It is a raging cry to French society, that wonderland where exploitation and racism thrive, where domination and the colonial spirit live on.

Our take
A dazzling work that is at once a documentary, a collage, and a solidarity call, Abouda and Bonnamy’s film is a howl against the racist exploitation of Algerian migrant laborers in 1970s France. Radical in both form and content, this forgotten triumph, now gorgeously restored, is essential viewing.
