France is experiencing a moment of crisis. Rubbish is piling up in the streets, protestors are clashing with the police, and there have been months of strikes. President Marcon has now signed into law the controversial pension reform that triggered this unrest, but the demonstrators show no sign of backing down.
At the heart of this fight is France's youth - energised by a movement of revolutionary music. This generation is united in fury. They fear for French democracy, the welfare system, the environment, and their future. Through techno, hip hop, and punk, people from all walks of life are coming together. This is the sound of modern protest.
