Good day to my cis women and trans women #iwd2021♀️
Today is only a reminder for the rest of the World.
We are celebrating our achievements and fighting for our rights every single blood sucking day.
#choosetochallenge the patriarchy today, and everyday.
Waking up to this today amidst the chaos that we’re living in is the best reminder to keep going! Counting every win now and forever.
I am over the moon happy and grateful✨
Shakwa wins 2 awards:
Best Actress at @tinwff 🏆
Best International Actress at @veniceshorts 🏆
I tried hard to think of words to describe this experience, but words failed me.
Having been part of it both as an actress on the following film, and as an assistant director on others, meant the world for me because this has become the world for us.
This is about August 4, 2020. This is about the victims, their loved ones who had to carry on after the losses, this is about us, the people who have to face this harsh reality, day after day.
I invite you to watch “MIRA”, Episode 3 out of 15 others, part of “Beirut 607” TV-series made to honor the ones who lost their lives, and the ones who survived Beirut’s August 4th Explosion.
Starting today at 5 PM Beirut time all the shorts will air back-to-back on @mbc4insta
Directed by : @lucien_bourjeily
Produced by : @beirut607@imagic.group@the_big_picture_studios
It’s 2020 and women are still not protected against rape.
As humans and artists it is our duty to use our voices and speak up.
