Siskoid
Listen is a Danish short which can be found on YouTube, about a communications breakdown between the police and a Muslim woman wearing a burka begging them to do something about her abusive husband. The catch: The translator filters the experience through her own religious background and sides with the husband. In this very simple drama, with some moments repeated to multiply the points of view, we are witness to the systemic misunderstanding and injustice immigrants can face, where even allies may pass one another by without truly seeing what's going on. A powerful indictment of the treatment of women in the context of misogynist orthodoxy. 6 years 1 month ago -
