I AM RAJA

I AM RAJA is a short film about a young Berber girl from the Sahara desert and how she copes mentally and physically with the every day chore of collecting well water in a large and desolate landscape.

I AM RAJA, the first film in the trilogy, is a memorable charmer marked by a sense of rhythm and imbued with an atmosphere of quiet wonder. Clearly there are hardships the film's young protagonist might be facing, but she meets them with a thoughtful purpose and joy. I look forward to seeing the others

I AM RAJA is a beautiful screendance portrait; anchored in a stunning physical location and a natural performance from its lead.
