The French-Moroccan film-maker Houda Benyamina received a standing ovation at Cannes Film Festival and won the Camera D'Or prize for her film, "Divines". In February 2017, the very politically correct Académie des Césars (the French equivalent of Hollywood's Oscars) rewarded Houda Benyamina with a César for "Divines" as the Best First Film. The scandal is not that "Divines" might be considered a hate film against France, against public schools, against police, against firemen, against the presentation of migrants and Muslims as eternal victims. The heroes in the movie are all suffering young Muslims, targets of a French racist society; nobody understands the beauty of their souls, etc. The scandal is that Houda Benyamina shared on Facebook a cartoon saying that Israel and the United States are manipulating ISIS.
Oulaya Amamra, the young sister of Houda Benyamina, awarded by the Académie des Césars the prize for Best Young Actress in "Divines", was pictured posing with Mehdi Meklat. Like him, she frenetically deleted dozens of racist and homophobic tweets featuring terms like "dirty nigger".
Amamra did not apologize. She just said: "sorry, I was young".
