Ladj Ly is a 29-year-old filmmaker, actor, journalist, and co-founder of the expansive French audiovisual collective Kourtrajmé. He's also one of the ballsiest documentarians living in France today and a resident of Clichy Montfermeil, the epicenter of the tragic and violent 2005 French riots. It's these riots which have backdropped three, (and an upcoming fourth), of Ladj's outstanding films. We spoke to him for The Creators Project and you can watch it here.
