Summary
This acclaimed film depicts the clash between culture and family as seen through the eyes of a young Tunisian woman balancing the traditional expectations of her family with her creative life as the singer in a politically charged rock band. AS I OPEN MY EYES offers a nuanced portrait of the individual implications of the incipient Arab Spring. Nominated for Best Film at the **Venice Film Festival**. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival**. "*This debut feature earns its grown-up wisdom without selling out its youthful idealism.*" - Sophia Nguyen, ***Village Voice***
