Dr. Sokolsky will introduce “Fatima,” one of Philippe Faucon’s films about members of the French population traditionally left off-screen. A sharp observation of the harsh realities of the immigrant experience is balanced against an inspiring story of individual resilience. Fatima is a middle-aged, divorced Algerian woman, cleaning houses and offices to provide her spirited teenage daughters with a better future. It takes a workplace accident for her to finally pay attention to her own needs and discover a powerful means of expressing them through poetry.
