In their recent elections Tunisians handed significant power to an Islamic party that promises to respect democracy and tolerance. But can this volatile mix of religion and politics create stability?

The chasm between Islamic and secular Tunisia was the key battleground during the elections. "When you get into the polling booth you will find your conscience in front of you", asserted Ennahda founder, Rachid Gannouchi. Ennahda's victory was hailed as a democratic success, but many haven't forgotten that the party has its roots in Muslim extremism."Young people are afraid, especially women".

@chakazulu87 In answer to your concerns: when we repost it is never due to comments. We actively encourage debate over our uploads. Unfortunately, we often receive and upload important, urgent reports at the last minute for the journeyman weekly. Often, these versions have issues that remain to be addressed. In the case of this film, it originally had no title or credits and was in lower quality; we uploaded a version with these modifications when they had been completed.

@linitisplastica I didn't have any negative feelings about journeyman docs but I noticed with in the last 2 weeks they been re posting vids quite a bit. I don't it's due to technical difficulties either.
