Ali au pays des merveilles (DjouhraAboudaet AlainBonnamy,1976)

Ali in Wonderland by Abouda and Bonnamy is a cry against exploitation and racism, which uncompromisingly points out the role of the French state, the media, capitalism and colonization in this system of domination which crushes this . who undergo it. Shot in 16mm, the film combines a formal power and an inventive aesthetic with a militant purpose. “I put a magnifying glass on the daily actions of migrant workers,“ says Djouhra Abouda. The film required a year of scouting and research, as well as meticulous plastic work. Images composed and edited with the music of Djamel Allam taking us from documentaries to ballet, musicals, or even fantasy. The film also gives voice to the most forgotten, women, largely absent from films and documents on the struggles of immigrant workers.
