A 2024 Oscar® nominee for Best Documentary Feature Film, this riveting documentary uses an audacious formal conceit to tell the story of Olfa Hamrouni and her four daughters.

Winner of over a dozen major prizes including Best Documentary at the Cannes Film Festival and the Gotham Awards, FOUR DAUGHTERS is a compelling portrait of five women and a unique and ambitious work of nonfiction cinema that pushes against the conventional boundaries of the documentary form to explore the nature of memory, rebellion, and the ties that bind mothers and daughters.
