Voices of the Morning
A film by Meena Nanji
1992, 15 minutes, Color, VHS
Order No. W99166

Inspired by THE HIDDEN FACE OF EVE by Nawal El Sadaawi, VOICES OF THE MORNING is a poetic exploration of Muslim women’s lives. It follows the socialization process of young woman living under Orthodox Islamic law. Resisting traditional definitions of a woman’s role in society as only a dutiful daughter or wife, she struggles to find a space for her existence amidst the web of conditions imposed upon her by restrictive familial and societal conventions.
