Dar Hirak
Short documentary “Dar Hirak”
This documentary attempts to relate the story of the Algerians’ second revolution as a completion of the first. Towards this end, it links the struggle of Hassiba Ben Bouali, the famous female Algerian freedom fighter who, at the age of 17, broke the taboos of her times and conservative environment in order to join the Algerian National Liberation Army, with the story of the Hirak Movement in which men and women of all ages joined ranks with a single aim: the quest for freedom.
