Imane’s Promise
Imane is a 26-year-old woman who writes a feminist blog in a country where women are viewed as minors for life. Threats and adversity have never prevented her from decrying loud and clear the injustices that have kept women in submission in her country, Algeria. My virtual friend who was telling me about her fights and her life for the last four years was found dead in her apartment in 2019. This film is a posthumous gift to Imane; a way to repair this cruel twist of fate. Her struggles and sacrifices cannot be in vain!
