Description

This short film is part of the Persister Shorts Program.

Radia, a Moroccan shepherd and farmer whose childhood circumstances prevented her from accessing an education, demonstrates how girls and women are prescribed their fates at a young age. Radia reflects on the idea of agency and how invention, determination and achievement exist independently of anyone's permission.

Persister program presented in partnership with Oxfam Canada with the participation of the Government of Canada
