"She Had A Dream" Tunisian film

Please join us for a zoom screening of the Tunisian documentary “She Had A Dream” (Raja Amari, 2020, 90 mins., Arabic and French with subtitles) at go/feministfridays.
Ghofrane, 25, is a young Black Tunisian woman. A committed activist who speaks her mind, she embodies Tunisia’s current political upheaval. As a victim of racial discrimination, Ghofrane decides to go into politics. We follow her extraordinary path, ranging from acting on her ambition to disillusion. Through her attempts to persuade both close friends and complete strangers to vote for her, her campaign reveals the many faces of a country seeking to forge a new identity. In its own unique way, this documentary sheds light on women’s place in Tunisia’s changing society.
