Authentiques

The documentary followed the rap group for a year (in 1998), from rehearsals at the Pee Wee studio in Aubervilliers, the beginning of their tour in La Réunion, through Lorient, Nantes, Lyon, Bordeaux, Nancy, to the Zénith in Paris. The documentary also explores Joeystarr's legal troubles, life within the group, issues with the media, ... In cross-cut and intimate interviews, Joeystarr and Kool Shen reflect on the significant events of this entire journey. They discuss their shared experiences, their "couple life," the emergence of their collectives, B.O.S.S. (the start of the Skyboss show on Skyrock) and IV My People, and the possible future or the end of NTM.

Directed by Alain Chabat, Sear - Get Busy, Authentiques leans on a strong ensemble — JoeyStarr, Kool Shen, DJ Spank — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2000.
