This footage was filmed and produced 28 August 2021.

A total of 160,000 people protested across France on Saturday, the interior ministry said, angered at the country's Covid-19 health pass system which they say unfairly restricts the unvaccinated. By early evening the authorities had logged 222 separate protest actions, including 14,500 people who turned out in Paris. Sixteen people were arrested and three police officers slightly injured in what was the seventh consecutive weekend of Covid protests.

The video shows several thousand people (8500) taking to the streets to protest against the use of the sanitary pass on a daily basis. According to the protesters, many streets were blocked by the police to prevent the protesters from entering the city center, and there were also cases of tear gas being used to disperse the last remaining protesters on the roadway.
