Characters can be seen smoking and selling drugs, as well as smoking cigarettes. The language is strong and frequent, ranging from "f-k" and "s-t" to racist slurs such as "kike" and the "N" word. The trio are at the receiving end of racially-motivated police brutality as well as racist attacks by fascists. But, to a degree, they are sympathetic, seemingly victims of a system not designed to help people from marginalized backgrounds - Vinz is Jewish, Saïd is of North African descent, Hubert is Black, and all three are from lower-income homes. They carry weapons, steal, and sell drugs. Shot entirely in black and white, three friends - Vinz ( Vincent Cassel), Saïd ( Saïd Taghmaoui), and Hubert (Hubert Koundé) - wander the streets of the Parisian suburbs after a violent riot.
Parents need to know that La Haine is a superb but very violent French drama (with English subtitles) that shines a light on societal issues including police brutality, immigration, and racism.
