HLM Pussy

Despite their different social backgrounds, Amina, Djeneba, and Zineb have been friends for as long as they can remember. When Zineb experiences harassment from her brother’s best friend, Amina decides to post a compromising video of him on social media, hoping he will stop. The video unexpectedly goes viral, eliciting both widespread support and backlash from their community and the internet at large. Little does she know that the video will not only jeopardize her safety, but also strain their friendship. Faced with threats, they’ll have to choose between deleting the video or keep on fighting. Amina’s actions force a wedge into this formerly invincible friendship, shedding light on the divides in the girls’ race, class, and cultural privilege. (Miami Film Festival)
