Two Revolutionary Films by Heiny Srour
Spotlighting the role of women in Arab revolutionary movements, the extraordinary films of Lebanese director Heiny Srour are long overdue for rediscovery. For The Hour of Liberation Has Arrived , Srour weathered the dangers of an active conflict zone to document an Omani anticolonialist uprising in which women were instrumental. And in her singular, formally free-flowing feature Leila and the Wolves , Srour journeys through the Lebanese and Palestinian liberation movements of the twentieth century to show the strength and centrality of women in the key political struggles of their time.
