In Black Light, director Med Hondo brings an outsider’s eye to the Parisian thriller in this adaptation of a novel by the French writer Didier Daeninckx. During a time of heightened terrorist activity, the French police open fire on and kill the driver of a car in which Poivey, an airport technician, is a passenger. In an attempted cover-up, they lie about the incident and threaten Poivey when he sticks to his account of what happened. Poivey goes to Mali in search of the only other eyewitness, an illegal immigrant who was detained at the airport hotel and hastily deported.
