Alex Chan created in 2005 « French Democracy » during the November 2005 riots in France. He was living right right in the middle of it, La Courneuve in the « 93″. These riots were presented almost as « terrorism » by the press, which did upset him. He created a Machinima which told his version of the story. Circulated via the internet, signed koulamata, it became a huge success and was noticed by journalists from the Washington Post. Since then he produced « Seeds of terrorism » produced by Bac Films, a political fiction : « What if Iran gets the nuclear bomb, is under attack. He focuses on the consequences for younger population ». I interviewed Alex on April 12th : stick around for about 10 minutes.
