Khmash Pani (Silent Waters)

Finely crafted with great sensitivity, this film celebrates how religion fosters human life in community (as personified by the two women Aicha and Zoubida) and also shows how religion can be used to sow division and fear, messages of great importance and urgency for our contemporary world.
