Four Daughters
Four Daughters
One of the year's most acclaimed releases, this riveting documentary by Kaouther Ben Hania (The Man Who Sold His Skin) uses an audacious formal conceit to tell the story of Olfa Hamrouni and her four daughters. Attempting to answer the question of how and why the Tunisian woman’s two eldest became radicalized, leaving home to fight alongside ISIS, Ben Hania reveals a complex history. We watch as the family relives key events in their lives with help from professional actors standing in for the missing girls.
Winner of the Best Documentary Award at the Cannes Festival and Oscar-nominated for Best Documentary, Four Daughters is a compelling portrait of five women and a unique and ambitious work of nonfiction cinema that pushes against the conventional boundaries of the documentary form to explore the nature of memory, rebellion, and the ties that bind mothers and daughters.
Revered by critics with an exceptional 95% Rotten Tomatoes score, this is an intimate journey full of hope, rebellion and sisterhood.
