Letter to My Sister

Country: Algeria, Language: Kabyle, French, 68 mins

Original Title

Lettre à ma sœur
  • Director: Habiba Djahnine
  • Producer: Habiba Djahnine

CGiii Comment

Lettre à ma sœur tells the story of the assassination of Nabila Djahnine, sister of the filmmaker and president of the association "Thighri N'tmettouth" (Cry of a Woman), who was murdered on February 15, 1995, in Tizi-Ouzou, a small town in Kabylia, a hundred kilometers from Algiers. In 1994, Nabila wrote a letter to her sister telling her about the escalation of violence, repression, assassinations, meager hopes, and her dismay at the inability to act, experienced during those years of lead. Ten years after Nabila's assassination, the filmmaker returns to those places to make a film, to tell what happened and to observe the transformations of the city and its people, in an attempt to understand the reasons why dialogue has in fact become impossible and there seems to be room left only for murder and massacre.
