12 angry arabs
Fiction | 14’ | dec 2016
For this reimagining of the classic 12 Angry Men I worked with an all-Arab cast and a lot of new talent. With this film I wanted to make a powerful statement about
representation and visibility of Arab perspectives in Dutch film. By
refilling a familiar narrative structure with other bodies, voices and
stories, I challenge the audience to critically question their cultural frame of reference and
at the same time create new space for voices that are rarely heard.
