New World View: Tunisia
One night in Tunis: the young student Mariam meets the attractive Youssef at a party. A few minutes later, the two of them are wandering the streets, completely distraught – Mariam has been the victim of a crime committed by Tunisian police officers. She is determined to report the perpetrators immediately. But how do you proceed when the police are of no help and everyone else just advises her to keep quiet? Based on true events, director Kaouther Ben Hania tells the story of a courageous woman who stands up to a corrupt male (police) system while using great single-shot sequences. Truly powerful cinema!
