The Tunisian mother Olfa Hamrouni gained prominence in 2016 when two of her four daughters ran away to join the Islamic State in Libya. She grew outspoken in the hope of preventing other mothers from suffering her loss. Now filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania takes a novel approach to telling this story by casting two actors to portray the missing daughters alongside Hamrouni and her other daughters. “Four Daughters is an enthralling narrative about memory.” (Variety)
