Strong Left
Primary
The series consistently champions progressive values by focusing on themes of identity, LGBTQ+ acceptance, mental health destigmatization, and challenging social prejudices, promoting empathy and inclusivity as solutions to societal and personal struggles.
The series features a visibly diverse cast that reflects contemporary French society, with various ethnic backgrounds represented among its teenage characters. The narrative explores a range of social and personal issues through these characters' experiences, but it does not explicitly critique traditional identities or make DEI themes the central, overriding focus of its storytelling.
Secondary
Skam France provides a deeply empathetic and affirming portrayal of LGBTQ+ identity through Lucas's coming-out journey and his relationship with Eliott. The series sensitively explores internal struggles and external pressures, ultimately celebrating queer love and self-acceptance with dignity and complexity.
The French adaptation, "Skam France," features the character Alexia, who corresponds to Chris Schistad from the original Norwegian series "Skam." Chris was canonically male, while Alexia is portrayed as female, constituting a gender swap for a significant character.
Several characters, including Imane (Sana), Idriss (Mahdi), and Sofiane (Yousef), were portrayed by actors of a different race than their counterparts in the original Norwegian series 'Skam,' where they were established as North African/Middle Eastern.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
