You are invited to a free screening of Salma, presented in partnership with Sembène – The Film & Art Festival and City of Asylum. When Salma, a young Muslim girl in a south Indian village, was 13 years old, her family locked her up for 25 years, forbidding her to study and forcing her into marriage. During that time, words were Salma’s salvation. Against the odds, Salma became the most famous Tamil poet: the first step to discovering her own freedom and challenging the traditions and code of conduct in her village.
Sembène Film Festival: Salma will be shown at City of Asylum @ Alphabet City on Thursday, December 15, 7:00 pm. Alphabet City is located at 40 West North Avenue.
