Our take
Shot on mobile phones due to censorship fears, this immersive, vibrant short depicts Algerian demonstrations in defense of democracy. Taking it to the streets with a local protester, Brazilian directors Bruna Carvalho Almeida and Brunna Laboissière reflect on their country’s politics and future.
