Under the Fig Trees: A Film by Erige Sehiri – Winona Film Society
September 13 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Doors open at 6:30pm // Showtime 7:00pm // $5
On a hot summer night, a crew of workers arrive in a fig orchard in northwest Tunisia. Through sun-drenched leaves, the youngest of the women steal precious moments away from the foreman’s watchful gaze. Meanwhile, the elders, tasked with the careful job of packing the tender fruit, watch them and reminisce. This is a portrait of everyday life in which class and circumstance do not allow for personal freedoms but where sisterhood serves as a transformative act of resistance.
