The Woman Who Walks
Francesco Clerici, Khaoula Matri / Italy, United Kingdom, Tunisia / 2025 / World Premiere / 27 min.
synopsis
Authentic testimonies from women in sub-Saharan Africa reveal the suffering and violence that accompany their hopeful journey to Tunisia and southern Europe. Their faces remain hidden from the camera; we see only fragments of their bodies and destinies. A chilling portrait of people who would rather risk death at sea than life in their own country.“I told myself: live or die.”
