Amal

 
Amal, a French teacher at a Brussels school, encourages her students to cultivate a love for literature and freedom of expression. Her bold and provocative teaching style is put to the test when a conflict around religion and sexuality comes apart at the seams. How far does the impact of religion extend? What are the limits of free speech? How far can someone go in the name of faith?

 

A haunting reflection on polarisation and radicalisation in education with a rock-solid performance by Lubna Azabal.
