Cultural and intergenerational trauma erupt in this story about two sisters on the outskirts of Paris. After the siblings are torn apart, the eldest, Hasna, struggles to find her identity, leading to a choice that shocks the world. Director Dina Amer takes on one of the darkest issues of our time and deconstructs it in an intimate story about family, love, sisterhood, and belonging.

Filmography

2021 Tu me ressembles

"This film was created to understand the roots of one woman's trauma - a journey through layers of disassociation, from the personal and familial to the religious and colonial: a kaleidoscope of splintered identities and fractured dreams. You Resemble Me is an invitation to look beyond our perception of the absolute truth, challenging us to lift the veils that prevent us from seeing ourselves in each other." [Dina Amer]

Dina Amer is a filmmaker and journalist, who grew up between the US and Egypt. She helped produce the Oscar-nominated and Emmy award-winning documentary The Square, in which the Egyptian Revolution was chronicled from the frontlines. Her work has focused on sharing nuanced, human stories with a global audience. Previous to her film work, Amer was a celebrated journalist. She was an on-air correspondent for VICE, including The Black Market Series, where she uncovered the human trafficking of Syrian refugees and explored the underground economy of illegal Egypt-Gaza tunnels. Her written work has been published in The New York Times, CNN and the Huffington Post. You Resemble Me is her directorial debut.
