In Europe, people only see the terrorists, but they never tell stories about those who resisted terrorism, and there are many, many people like that in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Algeria… Wherever Daesh and Al Qaeda are, there are also people resisting. But their stories remain untold. My cinema highlights these untold stories to open the eyes of Western people who are full of prejudice about Africa and the Arab world.
