The banning of religious symbols in schools has become a talking point recently here. In France, however, it has become law, a move that has provoked outrage among the country's 15 million Muslims.
This thought-provoking film follows a group of veiled girls at a Paris school who are resisting the new law in defiance of their headmaster. The girls risk expulsion and could forfeit vital exam qualifications, but the head believes school should be a bastion against a rising tide of Islamic fundamentalism.
