About Rachida
Rachida, a young and self-assured teacher at an elementary school, becomes the target of terrorists when she refuses to place a bomb in her classroom. This acclaimed debut feature offers a unique glimpse into the lives of ordinary citizens in Algeria, where terrorism was commonplace during the civil conflict of the 1990s.
Directed by Yamina Bachir-Chouikh, Rachida leans on a strong ensemble — Ibtissem Djouadi, Bahia Rachedi, Rachida Messaoui En — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2003.
