Shown at Cannes 2006 in a special screening, THESE GIRLS is an unusual, very personal documentary about girls surviving on Cairo’s streets. After weeks spent with her subjects, director Rached completely won over the tough yet vulnerable girls’ trust, allowing her to reveal their lives as they experience them – with pride, humour, pain and love – but purposely minus the filter of background stories.
Please note: director Tahani Rached is unable to attend the screening as we hoped she would. We apologise for any disapointment this may cause.
