You Resemble Me by Dina Amer: Initial film review and reflections from discussion with director Dina Amer

“The French media was so quick to label Hasna as ‘Europe’s first female suicide bomber’, that not only was the claim wrong but 3 different Moroccan women’s images were used and said to be Hasna. As if it didn’t matter who they actually were, so long as they were Muslim women. Amer’s parting words with the audience of the Q&A were: ‘France needs to do better.’”
