(AFP) A French man of North African origin has accused Netflix of racial discrimination for labelling him a radical Islamist in an action movie for which he was filmed without his knowledge, his lawyer said Monday.
“Sentinelle,” set in the southern city of Nice, tells the story of an elite French soldier returning from service in Syria who embarks on a mission to find the man who raped her sister.
One scene shows the protagonist, Klara, looking through the sights of her rifle at two young friends saying goodbye to each other.
The scene was shot on the Promenade des Anglais, the seaside walk where a Tunisian radical mowed down 86 people with a truck on July 14, 2016.
