La Nouelywood: The banlieues of France

Residents of a French housing estate get behind the camera to challenge negative stereotypes of multicultural banlieues.

For the past 30 years, whenever filmmakers have sought to depict the supposed social ills of France's multicultural banlieues, or suburbs, they have headed to La Noue.

The sprawling housing estate is located in the city of Montreuil, on the periphery of Paris. La Noue's mostly neat tower blocks in muted shades of grey, cream and brown have become the backdrop onto which filmmakers have projected their negative stereotypes of life in the banlieues.

Salma the Boxer: Fighting back in Molenbeek

Young boxers at a Moroccan migrant-founded gym counter stereotypes that their neighbourhood is a 'hotbed of radicalism'.

"Life is a fight," says Mohamed Ma'alem, the founder of the Brussels Boxing Academy (BBA) in Molenbeek. "For everyone, for anyone."

"She is a force," he says of the schoolgirl whose parents were born in Morocco and who considers herself both Moroccan and Belgian. "She has huge inner strength."

Salma trains every day at the BBA, a club with 600 members located in an old school gym, where her father, Hamid Ben Abdesselam, is one of her coaches.

Across Europe, the far-right is on the rise and it has some of the continent's most diverse communities in its crosshairs.

To the far-right, these neighbourhoods are "no-go zones" that challenge their notion of what it means to be European.
