Nadia's journey

As a young woman, Nadia Zouaoui vowed that her suffering would not be in vain. When she was 19, her parents forced her into an arranged marriage with an Algerian man twice her age living in Montreal. He chose her based on a photograph. Years later, she returns to Kabylie, Algeria to see if things are any different. This is her journey into the patriarchal culture backed by strict Muslim tradition and the cruelty endured by so many girls and women held captive in their homes.
