Samia (2024) follows the inspiring journey of a young woman named Samia, who defies societal norms and taboos by racing through the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia. In a deeply traditional society where women are expected to conform to prescribed roles, Samia’s passion for running becomes an act of rebellion.
