    As I want

    Samaher ALQADI 2021 Egypt, Norway, France, Palestine, Germany Documentary color 88min Arabic, English DCP
    The Arab Spring brought hope for freedom and change. But the second anniversary of the uprising was marred by a series of sexual assaults, which in turn led large groups of women to gather in the streets in the following days to protest in anger. Filmmaker Samaher ALQADI was there herself with her camera in hand to document the women’s own uprising from the frontline. But her pregnancy and the shadows of her childhood in Palestine also made her embark on a journey back to her parents’ home while performing an imaginary inner dialogue with her own mother who had passed away.
