Comme une spirale
Short documentary, 30 min, Canada, Lebanon, 2024
SYNOPSIS
“Like a Spiral” is a dialogue between Beirut and five women, migrant domestic workers, under the Kafala system.
Expressing their belonging to a society in collapse, the women's voices rise through the film's grainy images to denounce their stolen freedom with an inalienable thirst to exist. Their memories dance in the rhythm of oppression.
Caught within life's spiral, they lift themselves up to not sink into oblivion.
