banat bab allah OR Girls on heaven's door

Farida, a teacher of 8 disabled women, hates nothing more but a weak personality. Her choice to start up a handicraft workshop for the mentally and physically disabled people in her village in Tunisia is one that challenges her on a daily basis. But how do her students deal with her wicked humor and "tough love". In this small workshop social miracles are being woven between threads and tears. This film is a window on the many under funded villages in the Arab World with large numbers of disabilities and how one woman's initiative can change the lives of many. 42 minutes
