About

French Fears addresses issues of immigration in France today. Attempting to understand the rise of the anti-immigrant right, it speaks to experts, the National Front themselves and French citizens with immigrant experiences. Episodes dig deeper into France’s approach to assimilation, the roots of racism, Islamophobia, and defining French identity. Whether you have a connection to France or not, French Fears offers a timely look at immigration and national identity in the context of anti-immigrant and nationalistic politics gaining popularity and strength across Europe and the United States. (Soundtrack features "French Waltz" by Sam Bikov and "Songs for Paris" by Dana Boulé.
