Overview

25-year-old Ghofrane dreams of becoming a politician and having an influence on the future of Tunisia. As a young black woman from the working class, it is a dream that requires stamina – and she has plenty of it. Raja Amari’s film follows her up to the election in 2019 when she is on the streets to gather votes and give especially young people renewed faith in democracy in a polarised society plagued by racism and inequality. A smaller film might turn a blind eye on realism in favour of a good story, but here both Ghofrane nor Amari are aware of the exhausting struggles that have to be overcome before she can bring about the change she so fervently longs to see happening. An inspiring film about a true idealist and a rich image of a society full of contrasts.

[CPH:DOX] Tunisia was one of the countries that managed to take advantage of the Arab Spring revolutions. But despite having an enviable parity system for women in Parliament, they maintain a normalized racism towards black people. The protagonist tries to change the system from within, starting a political career. It is a reflective and clarifying documentary on the need to continue fighting despite progress.
