WRIF Film: Four Daughters

Between light and darkness stands Olfa, a Tunisian woman and the mother of four daughters. One day, her two older daughters disappear. To fill in their absence, the filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania invites professional actresses and invents a unique cinema experience that will lift the veil on Olfa and her daughters’ life stories.

“The form of “Four Daughters” — neither fiction, nor documentary; neither memoir, nor reportage — [is] oddly fitting, even when it keeps bumping up against Ben Hania’s oddly romanced filmmaking.” – Variety

“Ben Hania and her subjects give us a profound live window into the cycle of trauma and, in doing so, radically trace an under-recognized path between deeply personal pain and dogmatic extremism.” – Paste Magazine
