Les Misérables
A newly transferred police officer joins a anti-crime brigade in the volatile Montfermeil suburb of Paris—the real-life setting of Victor Hugo's novel—and witnesses a violent confrontation with local youths. When a drone captures the incident on video, simmering tensions between the police and the community erupt, threatening to ignite into an all-out revolt.
