Middle Eastern Studies presents a Film Screening of 'Benzine'

Tuesday, Mar 17, 2020 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Location

Carpenter Library
Room B21
The film will be introduced by the lead actress Sondos Belhassen.

Benzine, set near Gabes in southern Tunisia, deals with undocumented immigration from the point of view of those who stayed behind. The protagonists, Salem and Halima are looking for their only son, Ahmed, who has been gone for a few months, trying to make his way to Italy as an undocumented immigrant. This movie raises questions about immigration and loss, addressing the issue of the pain of others, the parents left behind. 


Cosponsored by the Programs in Arabic, Film Studies, the Class of 1902 Lecture Fund, the Departments of French and Francophone Studies, History, Sociology, Anthropology, the Center for Visual Culture, the Center for Social Sciences, and the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship at Haverford College.
