About this event
When Mariam, a young Tunisian woman, is assaulted by police officers after leaving a party, she is thrust into a night of relentless struggle. Determined to seek justice, she must navigate hospitals, police stations, and a system that seems determined to silence her and protect her abusers. As the night unfolds, Mariam fights not only to be heard, but to hold on to her dignity in the face of institutional indifference and intimidation.Country: Tunisia, France, Sweden, Lebanon, Norway95 minutes, in Arabic with English subtitles*Disclaimer: This film contains some difficult subject matter and imagery, including strong language, violent imagery, and references to rape and sexual violence, which may be triggering for some viewers.*FREE for members.
