Imane, a 26-year-old Algerian feminist activist, was found dead in her apartment. She blogged in a country where women were considered minors for life. Today, the legacy of her struggle lives on through other voices.
Born in Algeria, Nadia ZOUAOUI has lived in Quebec since 1988, where she studied literature and communications. She has worked for Radio Canada in French and English, as well as for the NFB (National Film Board of Canada) and the Aljazeera Documentary Channel. With her first film, Nadia’s Journey (2006), she shed light on the suffering of women in her native country.
