What it is about
Samuel Paty, a middle school teacher, uses cartoons with caricatures of the Prophet to teach freedom of expression. When a girl falsely claims she was expelled for objecting, her outraged father’s viral reaction video ignites a firestorm. While tensions escalate, an Islamist activist leaks the teacher’s personal information, and a Chechen jihadist follows the online trail to the school gates. In the aftermath, conflicting voices confront how rumour and collective inaction can lead to irreparable harm.
