This is the story of one school, its headmaster and a group of Muslim girls who
find themselves at the centre of a political storm. Raymond Scieux, the
headmaster at Eugene Delacroix School, in northern Paris, is spoiling for a
fight, when he announces at assembly that he does not want to recognise any
pupil's religious persuasion in his school. He has the controversial French law
on his side, i.e., religious symbols have been banned from schools. Muslim
headscarves are the target. The majority of teachers are in favour of Scieux's
edict, because they believe they have to help girls withstand religious
pressure. Then, ten veiled girls at Delacriox decide to defy the headmaster.
Their search for a compromise takes a dramatic turn, when Iraqi terrorists
kidnap two French journalists and demand a repeal of the ban. Since this
documentary takes to air, they have been released and returned to France
unharmed. Back at the school, the school girls and teachers grapple with the
rules which threaten to inflame the tensions they were designed to calm. To date,
almost fifty veiled schoolgirls have been expelled across from France, since the
law was introduced. The government has now extended the ban on religious symbols
to cover hospital staff. Includes interviews, and media spotlight on the school.
