Leila and the WolvesLeila and the Wolves

Drawing on the Arab heritage of oral tradition and mosaic patterns, LEILA AND THE WOLVES is an exploration of the collective memory of Arab women and their hidden role in history. Leila, a young Lebanese woman in 1980s London, time-travels through the 20th century, observing and connecting with the social struggles and anti-colonial movements of women in Lebanon and Palestine. Combining fictional drama, archival footage, and fantasy sequences, the film refutes male-dominated history and serves as a feminist counter-narrative."I wanted to rewrite history from a female and feminist point of view." - Heiny Srour"A stunning example of Third World and revolutionary cinema." - MovieWeb"A rich tableau of history, folklore, myth and archival material." - John Akomfrah"LEILA AND THE WOLVES challenges our traditional understanding of history... a testament to the collective memory of Arab women..." - Loud And Clear Reviews
