Harka

Dreaming of a better life, Ali makes a precarious living selling contraband gas on the streets of Tunisia. Forced to take charge of his two younger sisters after their father’s sudden death, and facing impending eviction, Ali will have to make a decision from which there is no turning back. What ensues is a fight for dignity, the voice of a generation trying to be heard.

Sidi Bouzid in Tunisia is essentially the fountainhead of the Arab Spring and the birthplace of the street vendor Mohamed Boazizi, whose death in 2010 triggered the Tunisian Revolution. Set a decade after the Spring, and inspired by Boazizi’s story, Harka is a gripping character study with an extraordinary performance by Adam Bessa, who won the Best Performance Award at the Un Certain Regard section of Cannes.
