Papicha 2019

The future is feminine, even if the theocracy doesn't know it yet.

Papicha is set in Algiers, Algeria in the 90s when fundamentalism was on the rise and there was increasing pressure for women to be unseen and not heard.

In an all-female university, one young woman fights back through fashion, the only tool she has. While the story here holds no surprises, I will always support these protest shouts from women who refuse to be relegated, especially when those cries are so passionate, lyrical, and loud.
