Ain't No Time for Women
Hot Docs 2021’s Best Canadian Short Documentary winner turns the lens on Saïda’s, a salon where Tunisian women can talk politics while getting their hair done.
Joining the salon’s customers – young and old, liberal and conservative – in the lead-up to Tunisia’s November 2019 presidential elections, the largely observational Ain’t No Time for Women is a joyous, sensitive slice-of-life piece that doubles as an illuminating microcosm of the country’s diverse demographics and voices.
