Saving Kevin

Saving Kevin is a French documentary about the reputation the name Kevin carries in France and an attempt to change it. Long tied to a set of unflattering stereotypes and a frequent target of mockery, the name is presented as a social phenomenon, and the film sets out to challenge how it is seen.

The documentary was directed and written by Kevin Fafournoux, whose own first name places him close to its subject. It was released on March 22, 2025, and was produced by Ulule. In France, its country of production, it belongs to the documentary field rather than fiction, and it takes up a subject rooted in French popular culture and everyday social attitudes.
