Hip-hop artists JoeyStarr and Kool Sheen grow up in Seine-Saint-Denis where we get to follow how they explore hip-hop culture through breakdancing, graffiti and rap. Authentik is a depiction of how the group Suprême NTM discovered hip-hop as a new way of expressing themselves. At the same time, the film is a portrait of the suburbs of Paris during the 90s, which were characterized by police brutality, protests and exclusion. The film premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.
