What happens
Ma 6-T va crack-er (Standard French: Ma cité va craquer, English translation: My suburbs are Going to Crack, derived from craquer ("break down") and the drug crack cocaine) is a French movie directed by Jean-François Richet in 1997, caricaturing gang warfare. Richet explicitly made in an interview references to Marxism-Leninism as his ideology to produce this movie. This influence is strong in one dialog where the teenagers say that a workers' strike is "more powerful against the system" than a ghetto riot. Also, the lyrics of 2Bal2Neg anthem "La Sédition" that we can hear at the end of movie speaks about "class struggle against the bourgeois class" and "a vanguard party founded to overthrow the society".
