After a horrible terrorist attack, a young migrant woman named Sira refuses to surrender to her fate without a fight, choosing instead to take a brave stand against Islamist terror. Sira and her fight stand as a feminist counterpoint to the current events reporting out of the Sahel region.
Screen Daily by Jonathan Romney
A punchy, visually potent story of survival and revenge, Apolline Traoré’s Sira offers a female-centred take on current tensions in northern Africa, and shows the Burkinabe writer/director on confident form with her fifth narrative feature.
Traoré has devised the story in a way that is both clever and honest. The audience doesn't need to know details about this complicated region, or its tribal and religious allegiances: it is a straight-forward narrative with easily recognisable themes and clear interpersonal dynamics.
