The Fall of Sparta (Template:Lang-fr) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Tristan Dubois and released in 2018.[1] Adapted from the young adult novel by Sébastien "Biz" Fréchette,[2] the film stars Lévi Doré as Steeve Simard, a bookish and introverted teenager in Saint-Lambert, Quebec in his final year of high school.[3]
Dubois and Biz opted to cast the film in a color-blind way, choosing the best actor for each role regardless of whether they corresponded to their character's stated or presumed racial background in the original novel.[4]
