Siad Mohamoud Ali could not find any of his close friends or relatives who was able to help us. Sunday June 29 we had to leave Eindhoven because we had a tight schedule. So we left Eindhoven without having any new contact to go to. Siad told us to go in the direction of Paris. He would then try to find a contact for us. This did not happen and we arrived in Paris without any contact.

We had 2 options. Either gives up the idea of producing more films or leaves the network idea and try to find our own director based on our own research into different suburbs.
We decided on the second option. We started by visiting different youth organisations, organisations and other in different suburbs that we know of. We ended in Clichy-sous-Bois. The suburb where the riots started back in 2005. Here we stayed at La Chapiteau. A neighbourhood theatre involving residents in the area. The project was established and run by André Valverde.
He helped us to find our next director: Sutio Marna living in the suburb Clichy-sous-Bois.
