After A Revolution
dir. Giovanni Buccomino / 2021 / Libya, Italy / 122min.
In Libya, two siblings fought during the 2011 revolution, but each on a different side: Haroun supported Gaddafi, while Myriam was a “rebel”. We follow them over six years
In Libya, two siblings put their heart and soul into the future of their country during the 2011 revolution, but each on a different side: Haroun supported Gaddafi, while Myriam was one of the “rebels”. Now belonging to the ruling class, she is again standing up for the oppressed and seeking rehabilitation for people like her own brother.
We follow these fervent, resilient siblings over the course of six years, during which she gets elected as spokesperson for women’s rights and he struggles with war traumas.
