Director Statement

Farah is about gender related restrictions, traditional beliefs, social acceptance, misunderstanding and lack of support we experience on daily basis.
Most of the time our judgment and decisions are not completely freed, especially as teenagers and even younger adults.

We follow the journey of a young female against a life-threatening situation, and her right of choice.
