The legal suit unleashes a raging polemic all over France. Daniel Leconte captures the passion in this French- spirited political thriller that "charges ahead, with humor as its weapon of mass destruction of stupidity" (filmmaker) Fervent partisan of freedom of expression, the film leans towards Charlie without any objectivity either for those bringing the complaint or for the opportunistic politicians (Isn't it hard being loved by Sarko?"). So, who are the "jerks" in this affair? It is up to you to say! Get the Flash Player to see this player.
