Documentary – National Film Board
English, Arabic with English subtitles
Directed by Nisreen Baker
We are thrilled to be presenting the WORLD PREMIERE of NFB documentary Arab Women
Say What?!
With unadulterated truth and complexity, Arab Women Say What?! paints an unparalleled
portrait of Arab women living in Canada. The film offers a counter-mainstream narrative that
embraces the unique experiences and perspectives of eight Arab women sharing their insights,
cuisine and laughter. Amid the rhythm of poetry and music, they tackle issues of feminism,
politics, exile and the yearning for a sense of belonging.
