We begin on an overcrowded bus line, dreaded by Fayza as a daily site of humiliation and anguish. Responding to a self-defense talk by Seba, whose own assault has driven her marriage apart, Fayza fights back—and soon has a police detective searching for her amid public panic. Meanwhile, Nelly, an aspiring comic, faces pressure from family to drop a lawsuit against her attacker. Mohamed Diab’s deftly braided narrative tells a gripping, timely social tale through its patchwork of interconnected lives and deeds.</em></p><p></p><div></div><div></div><div>Pizza and soda at 6:00 pm</div><div>Screening starts at 6:15 pm</div><p></p><p><strong style="font-size: initial;">Contact:</strong> <a style="font-size: initial;" href="mailto:cmesoc@fas.harvard.edu">CMES Outreach Program</a></p><p><a style="font-size: initial;" href="mailto:cmesoc@fas.harvard.edu"></a><strong style="font-size: initial;">Sponsors:</strong> Center for Middle Eastern Studies Outreach Program, Harvard Kennedy School Middle East Initiative</p>
