The Desert Rocker: Streaming

THE DESERT ROCKER won Best Feature Documentary at last year’s Arab Film Festival and we are excited to host an in-person screening in NYC and to make it available for streaming online, together with a pre-recorded Talkback with director Sara Nacer.

This screening is presented in partnership with YallaPunk.

About The Desert Rocker:
The Desert Rocker is an intimate, witty and profound portrait of the extraordinary Hasna El Becharia, a pioneer Gnawa artist. The first musician to break through the social barrier of this culture, she empowers and inspires women of all ages by reclaiming a musical tradition reserved for men for centuries. A singularly talented artist, she leads women to redefine their roles and challenge cultural norms, one musical performance at a time.
