More Details

Summary:

This film tells the story of two women with opposing political views fighting for their different visions of a democratic future for Tunisia, the country that sparked the Arab Spring. Over the course of Tunisia's critical post-revolution years, two women were followed, journalist Emna Ben Jemma, who envisions a secular government committed to human rights and governed without the corruption of the former regime. In contrast, Jawhara Ettis of the Islamist party Ennahda works towards a Tunisia guided by Islamic principles. This timely and insightful documentary traces their paths from public figures in the Arab Spring to opponents in its wake, and the common obstacles they face as outspoken women.
