Documentary Film: 7 ½

Nejib Belkadhi, 2014. Color. 80 min.
In Arabic and French with English subtitles.

It’s 2011, and the streets of Tunis are alive with the desire for change. When Ben Ali’s regime—often represented by the number 7—falls, people stage sit-ins, rally, and line up at polling stations to work out what comes next for their country. The compelling first documentary from award-winning director Nejib Belkadhi follows members of some of the key political parties, in that potent moment between the onset of revolution and the first elections.
