Ma révolution
Ramzi Ben Sliman
Marwann is 14 years old. He lives in the Goutte d'Or neighbourhood in Paris. He is a radiant teenager, struggling to make a dent on Sygrid's heart.
Everything changes with the Arab Spring. Marwann unintentionally becomes the voice of the Jasmine Revolution. Suddenly finding himself behind the wheel of History, Marwann lies, goofs off and seduces as he invents a new character for himself: a revolutionary hero. Caught up in his lie, he explores love and and his identity.

Ramzi Ben Sliman is a Parisian filmmaker. He was born right between the second oil crisis and the election of Francois Mitterrand to the presidency. His father, a travelling projectionist, brought him up with the cinema. The screening room was his school. My Revolution is his first feature film.
“I was won over by the romanticism of the Jasmine Revolution and by its sparking point: the self-immolation of a street salesman who gave his life and, without planning it, frees a country from tyranny. An almost transcendent historical force was set in motion. The trigger for the film was the collusion between the tragedy of an individual destiny and the explosion of History that was the Tunis Spring. The idea of the character of Marwann Zouari and his prankstering came from the opposite direction: he opportunistically exploits an event of historic scale with the sole intention of attracting Sygrid, the girl he is madly in love with.
It is into this whirlwind of History, in the heart of the Goutte d'Or, that Marwann has thrown himself. Thanks to the Revolution he discovers love, he becomes interested in politics for the first time, in the complexity of his origins, he stands up to his parents, he accepts his mistakes: he grows up.”
