Ces filles-là (El-Banate Dol)

“El-Banate Dol” is a feature-length documentary that plunges us into the world of teenage girls living on the streets of Cairo, a world of violence and oppression, as well as freedom. These Girls astonish us with the strength they exude, the laughter that animates them, and the toughness with which they must cope with their daily lives. They are women, and therefore doubly marginalized. Their existence, their lives and the codes they adopt defy the social model. Their day is strewn with threats, from police raids to kidnapping by their street companions. Women-children, mothers-daughters, they necessarily live in the moment. Dance, laughter and acrobatics give a glimpse of childhood, as do the arguments that sometimes get out of hand.
