French TikTok Duo Golo & Ritchie Score B.O Hit With Doc Challenging Misconceptions Around Disability


Golo and Ritchie, who is lightly autistic, are known for their funny posts going behind the scenes of life in their outer-Paris town of Grigny

Grigny ranks as one of the poorest towns in France and hit the headlines in the summer of 2023 after riots broke out there in response to the shooting dead in the northern suburb of Nanterre of teenager Nahel Mezouk by a policeman, after he fled a routine traffic stop. This friendship has been brought to the big screen in Martin Fougerol and Ahmed Hamidi’s fly-on-the-wall documentary Golo & Ritchie, which captures the pair as they embark on a 600-mile (850 km) cycle ride from the southern port city of Marseille back to Grigny. The friends’ 10-day journey sees them making overnight stops in a convent, where they charm the nuns; a social centre, where they dine with an Afghan refugee actor who recounts the violence he saw back home, and as well as a luxury spa retreat, giving a snapshot into a broad section of French life.
