The issues of Islam and cultural identity have always been of great interest to Leila AOUJDAD. Proud of her multiple identities, born in France and having lived 15 years in twenty or so countries, Leila has always been interested in promoting cultural diversity as a source of inspiration and wealth and in combating ignorance and intolerance.

This film production is a means of achieving a closer and more intimate understanding of contemporary Arab culture. As a French- Moroccan and Muslim woman, she wants to showcase other women who are proud to be who they are and who are inspiring their generation and beyond.
