A young Fulani woman crosses the sub-Saharan Sahel region to marry her fiancé when her tribe is attacked by a terrorist cell. Abused by Yéré, their leader, and abandoned in the middle of the desert, Sira must demonstrate extraordinary strength to survive, seek revenge, and counter Islamist terror. This new film by Burkinabé director Apolline Traoré, a necessary and poignant work, depicts the harsh reality of African women victimized by terrorism and the resilience they are capable of. It won the Panorama Audience Award at the Berlinale and the Silver Stallion at Fespaco.
