Tunisia’s submission to the Academy Awards is a riveting exploration of rebellion, memory, and sisterhood that reconstructs the story of Olfa Hamrouni and her four daughters. Unpacking a complex family history through interviews and reenactments, the film examines how the mother’s two eldest were radicalized by Islamic extremists.

“Takes us into the intimate, inner circle of family ties to tell a larger story of our time.” —TheWrap

Winner of four prizes at the Cannes Film Festival, Four Daughters is a compelling portrait of five women, as well as a unique and ambitious work of nonfiction cinema that explores the nature of memory, the weight of inherited trauma, and the ties that bind mothers and daughters.
