"A funny, fast-paced, and poignant take on Franco-African history, as told through the eyes of three African security guards in Paris. All over the city, they are watching: Black men paid to stand guard, invisible amongst the rich white fl�aneurs and yet the only ones who truly see. From Les Grands Moulins and the sales at Cam�aeu to a Sephora on the Champs-�Elys�ees, Ferdinand, Ossiri, and Kassoum, two generations of Ivoirians, seek their way as undocumented workers amidst political bickering at the Residence for Students from C�ote d'Ivoire and the ever-changing landscape of French immigration policy.
