Al Hadhra(2001)

movie - first aired/released 2001-01-01 - 90 min

Directed by Fadhel Jaziri

The Hadhra is a Sufi tradition practiced since the ninth century, bringing together collective recitation of litanies and devotional poetry, and gathering those present into a state of contemplation before the divine. Through the film, Al Jaziri approaches this tradition as a living heritage rather than a static relic.
