Touchia, Song of the Women of Algiers
1993, Arabic. Directed by Mohamed Rachid Benhadj.
In the streets of Algiers, the fundamentalist fervor of the Black Decade is growing. Fella, a 40-year-old Algerian woman, is about to go out to participate in a television program and be interviewed. But doubt, fear, and pain make her hesitate. Is this the moment to speak out as a woman, to remember the past, to recount the dream, the utopia, and the reality after independence?
