Does anyone know of any films–documentary or fictionalized accounts–about europe’s Muslim ghetto life?

It seems that even europeans make films about how horrible life is in the US, but I don’t seem to recall anything that depicts the racist, xenophobic, poverty-wrecked lives of minorities in europe–post-WW2 that is.

One of my favourites: La Haîne - French film by Mathieu Kassovitz. Not strictly Muslim - but ghetto life in Paris suburbs. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113247/
Also, The Promise, by the Dardennes brothers: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117398/
