Context: The person that was filming the tape, Marcel, was incredibly loud about his disdain for the French regime. He was making a independent documentary about his life under the regime when he ultimately could not complete the film. His best friend, Robyn, then decided to finish the documentary by showing a video Marcel took of the riots in the streets during a protest against the regime, and included audio of Marcel’s wife finding his body, presumably killed by the regime to silence him. She included this as to show the brutality of the regime, and the pain that their actions have caused. The final sentence, in English, says “Can you hear the people sing, Mr. President?”.
