France is in the midst of an identity crisis - grappling with some important questions about what kind of country it is, and what kind of country it wants to be.

In this episode of The Big Picture: France in Focus, we will deal with a legacy of France’s history that still plays a crucial role in its present colonialism.

Presenter Myriam Francois is taken on a "colonial tour" of Paris museums by Congolese activist, as well as speaking to a "decolonial coach" about transgenerational trauma. Joining her in the studio discussion are Grace Ly, Sally Alassane Thiam and Dorothee Myriam Kellou.

For its latest series, Al Jazeera English's multi-award-winning strand The Big Picture takes a deep dive into the most pressing issues facing France. The Big Picture: France in Focus is an original four-part series presented by journalist and documentary film-maker Myriam Francois.
