Freedom Fields to Premiere at TIFF

9th August 2018 / News

We are delighted to announce that our latest feature Freedom Fields will have its World Premiere at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival!

Filmed over 5 years, Freedom Fields is a new documentary from Libyan/British director Naziha Arebi, produced by Flore Cosquer of SDI Productions.

It follows three women and their football team in post-revolution Libya, as the country descends into civil war and the utopian hopes of the Arab Spring begin to fade. Through the eyes of these accidental activists, we see the reality of a country in transition, where the personal stories of love and aspirations collide with History.

A love letter to sisterhood and the power of the “team”.
