a touching story
gyongyosics3 June 2012
Warning: Spoilers
This is a very touching story about women, how they try to find their place is a very man-ruled society, how to match personal dreams with the rules of religion.

I found it very interesting how a feminist idea (teaching as means of socio-cultural ascension)interacts and causes a religious movement among women who claim their place in a man-focused religion, learning how to recite the Noble Qur'an which is traditionally a man's work.

She, Houda, who leads this Qur'an summer school for girls speaks about how important is for women to be educated for knowing their rights and encourages them to lead and continue secular studies as well.

Only problem with the film is that shows a bit idealistic picture about her fights.
