Letter to My Sister
Cinematography
Nabila Djahnine, president of the feminist association Thirghri N'tmetout, died in hands of an armed group in Tizi Ouzou (Algeria) in 1995. The Islamists forced women, on pain of death, to wear the hijab or stop working. It was the first time a feminist woman paid with her life. Nabila wrote a letter to her sister Habiba in 1994. This documentary is her answer. In 2006 Habiba comes back to the place to restore her sister’s memory, her point of view, the day of her death and the political moment Algeria was going through at that time.

The film tells the story of a small village in Kabylia through the innocent eyes of a six-year-old child. His vision of the world, disguised by adults, will be forever marked by the imagination, often fertile in myths, legends and other tales. The outbreak of the war of liberation will gradually end the myth. The film tells the story of a small village in Kabylia through the innocent eyes of a six-year-old child.
