Class and Conflict in World Cinema

You have been asked to 'translate' La Haine for a UK version (or that of your own country).

• Who would you want to cast in each role?
• What would be the ethnic origin of each one and how would this reflect the diversity of national, regional and ethnic identity in the UK?
• Where would you set the film in the UK and how would this reflect the difference between a wealthy city centre and poorer housing conditions in the outer suburbs?
