About Qui a tué Ali Ziri?
Screening at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), *Qui a tué Ali Ziri?* revisits the 2009 death of Ali Ziri after an arrest in France, treating the case as a window onto policing, migration, and accountability. The film follows the paper trail and the people left to testify when official narratives harden. Luc Decaster is featured among the on-screen voices shaping its inquiry. For New York audiences, it lands as a reminder that state violence travels across borders, and that documentary can function as a public record when institutions resist scrutiny.
