Four Daugthers Les filles d’Olfa

Kaouther Ben Hania / France, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Germany / 2023 / 110 min / English, Arabic, French

Olfa is the mother of four daughters. One day, her two older daughters disappeared to join Islamic extremists. The director replaces them with actors. As the real women confront their traumatic past, the actors face ethical questions about its portrayal. This richly awarded documentary is a slow-burning study of family trauma and an intimate journey full of hope, rebellion, sisterly love and intergenerational transmission of suffering and violence.
