At the 42nd Torino Filmfestival (November 22-30, 2024) the Premio interfede (Interfaith Prize), an award "for the respect of minorities and secularity", was given to the Tunisian film "L'aguille" (The Needle) by Abdelhamid Bouchnack.
In their motivation, the jury says: "The film very effectively underlines people’s fundamental right to self-determination, it denounces discrimination inflicted by a society founded on stereotypes and prejudices, and it calls for the individual responsibility of faith, without searching for answers that are ready-made by the religion of belonging."
