Claire Denis named her film TROUBLE EVERY DAY (2001) after a 1966 Frank Zappa song of the same name. Released on the debut album FREAK OUT! by Zappa's band The Mothers of Invention, was written in 1965 as Zappa watched the Watts Riots. The riot lasted 6 days in Los Angeles, which killed 34 and injured over a thousand. It ranked as the largest riot in Los Angeles until 1992. The themes of racial and social injustice as well as violence pertain to Denis' body of work as a director and her experiences in colonial Africa.
