Society vs. social media.

Paris in the age of viral videos, in a time of riots. The flashpoint behind it all is an improbable but banal series of events. A series producer, one of the new media moguls, could very well be the spark that lights a fire, which is then fueled by the marginalized. A long chain-reaction of events from which no one will emerge unscathed: neither the youth in the projects, nor the cops, nor the mothers, nor the Chinese illegal workers, nor the tele-evangelist. They’re all captives of "the arena," a new explosive series.
