Enemies Within (Ennemis intérieurs) is a 2016 short film (27 minutes) from France, directed by Selim Azzazi.The setting is the mid-1990s. An unnamed Algerian man who looks to be fifty-ish is applying for French citizenship. He was born in Algeria when it was still considered part of metropolitan France, he identifies as a Frenchman, and he's applying to make it official.He is questioned by a younger man, also of Algerian extraction but a French citizen. The interrogator starts off with the sort of harmless, rote questions that are asked of naturalization applicants, like what the French motto is or what are the major rivers of France. The questions soon get more pointed, however. It appears that the interrogator regards the applicant as a security risk. After a series of increasingly insulting, degrading questions, the interrogator starts demanding the names of the other Muslims that the applicant used to hang out with after worshipping at the mosque. | |

Flashback | |
| Enemies Within / int_53c9fc92 | comment |
Flashback: Brief flashbacks to the applicant as a boy with his father, as well as brief shots of the applicant with his fellow Algerians at the meetings which so arouse the suspicions of the interrogator. | |

Fake Video Camera View | |
| Enemies Within / int_5e57282b | comment |
Fake Video Camera View: There's a brief black and white, low-fidelity shot of the applicant, which is revealed to be from the interrogator's own video camera. The film then ends with a series of shots of people forced to sit down in front of the interrogator's camera. | |

Category Traitor | |
| Enemies Within / int_8cb01d0e | comment |
Category Traitor: The interrogator is also an ethnic Algerian. The applicant calls him out on this, saying that his fellow cops will always regard him as a "sand n***r" and a "spook" and that they'll never accept him. This seems to touch a nerve as the interrogator loses his cool for the first time, and starts threatening the applicant's son. | |

Minimalist Cast | |
| Enemies Within / int_8e3b5b4d | comment |
Minimalist Cast: Only three speaking parts in the movie, namely the applicant, the interrogator, and a couple of lines from another immigration official who seems to really loathe Muslims. | |
