“Papicha” by Mounia Meddour (2019)

First Feature

Great personages
Excellent gender content and message

Sometimes, it’s good to be reminded to which extreme religious orthodoxy can lead, for the type of civil war that is described here could happen anywhere 😦
It also helps us cherish the freedom we have, for we cannot take it for granted
