Between God and I
( Entre eu e Deus )

Yara Costa
2018 - 60 min - Film 35 mm & vidéo Full HD - Couleur - Mozambique

Known for its diversity, the Island of Mozambique is a historical multicultural Island with deeply rooted traditions, where a moderate Islam has so far harmoniously coexisted with other religions.
As a Muslim independent young woman who advocates for Sharia - Karen's “pure Islam” doesn't tolerate the old cultural practices and traditions. Through an intimate glimpse of Karen's life, "Between God and I", sheds light into the humanity of young women who are making radical religious choices and its implications in a broader context of religious conflicts.
