BAC Nord, the film by Cédric Jimenez, is inspired by the real events that led to eighteen police officers from the anti-crime brigade (BAC) of the northern districts of Marseille being brought before the criminal court for theft, corruption, drug trafficking, and extortion, and placed in pretrial detention in October 2012, but it focuses on the perspective of three of them. Four months after the Marseille court's verdict on April 22, 2021, which handed down seven acquittals and eleven suspended sentences, the film's box office success served as a social catalyst. The director retraces the story from its beginnings in 2009, drawing on television archives and key testimonies—undoubtedly the strength of this investigation, even though, with the prosecution appealing (twelve police officers are due back in court in September), the accused officers remain largely silent. Rumors of corrupt cops Laëtitia J., wife of a former member of the BAC Nord (Anti-Crime Brigade) who was arrested, has not recanted her testimony. Neither has Joël Dutto, the father of one of the three dismissed officers, whose persistence uncovered transcription errors by the IGPN (the French National Police Inspectorate). Also featured in the documentary are: Virgile Reynaud, lawyer for five police officers; Manuel Valls, Minister of the Interior (2012-2014); and Sébastien Bennardo, the police officer who denounced his former colleagues after being dismissed from the brigade. His meeting with the new prefect, sent to Marseille at the behest of Nicolas Sarkozy to regain control of the city, proved to be the catalyst. Alain Gardère, now a former prefect, speaks publicly about this affair for the first time. Little by little, the statements become intertwined. The lawyers and the investigating judges reveal the "bars" (of drugs) found at the officers' homes, the cash, the jewelry, the cannabis in their lockers, and the adrenaline-fueled days. Added to this are the rumors of corrupt cops and the media frenzy surrounding the shady dealings of this elite brigade, praised in January 2012 and then abandoned a few months later. “As long as everything is going well, we’ll cover for you,” emphasizes Chief Brigadier Marc La Mola, who worked alongside the plainclothes officers in the 2010s and praises their “enormous courage.” There’s no question of revealing any more of the numerous twists and turns (stakeouts, wiretaps, the “secret pact”) that punctuate this story, right up to its equally surprising epilogue. At most, it will be indicated that it brings a temporary end to a “huge mess” of ten years, to use Joël Dutto’s words. The broadcast will be followed by a discussion during which Fabrice Drouelle will discuss with Rudy Manna, departmental secretary of the Alliance police union, the heart of this emblematic case, whose shockwaves continue to reverberate through police circles. On July 13, at the Cannes Film Festival, Cédric Jimenez faced criticism. Irish journalist Fiachra Gibbons of Agence France-Presse (AFP) opened the discussion with his impressions: he found the film "very powerful," but was "troubled" that the young people of Marseille were portrayed as "simply beasts," even wondering if he might "vote for Le Pen" after watching it. It's true that in BAC Nord, beyond the story itself, this is what we perceive: there are lawless zones in France; police officers are banned from these areas and risk everything; drug dealers are armed, increasingly younger, and fearless; their language is structured around insults. Ultimately, a sense of separatism and the impossibility of a social contract emerge.
