From divisive Tunisian politics and radical Cuban media to Colombian national narratives, this assemblage of short films grapples with our collective notions of history, as well as the ever-permeating nature of social and political change.
A group of women gather at Saïda’s, a hairdresser, on the eve of Tunisia’s 2019 presidential election. The camera is a fly on the wall in Sarra El Abed’s whimsical film, as the salon transforms into a town square, offering an intimate look at the country’s burgeoning democracy.
