A Stranger in her own City
December 12th, 2007 by Torstein Schiøtz Worren
Last week I saw the crazies and most outrageous documentary (by Yemeni standards) I have ever seen from Yemen. The 30-minute film by Khadija as-Salami follows a 13 year old girl who refuses to wear the veil and is so cheeky, quick-witted, and happy that she somehow gets away with it, at least for a while.
Unfortunately, only the first ten minutes are available online and it’s really hard to find the whole thing anywhere. I will get my hands on the whole thing in a while, but in the meantime, you can watch the first third on YouTube here.
