We Are Not Princesses (2018) was directed by Bridgette Auger and Itab Azzam.

Four Iraqi women are stranded in a refugee camp in Lebanon. They long to get back to their homes, but that is simply too dangerous. In Lebanon, women are more liberated than they are in Iraq, but Iraqi standards prevail in the refugee community.

The women decide to produce the Greek play Antigone. It's appropriate to their situation because they live in a symbolically similar situation to Antigone. Do they obey the law--in this case the law of their husbands--or do they take a step towards freedom.

We saw this film at Rochester's High Falls Feminist Film Festival. It will work on the small screen. It's not a movie for everyone, but I certainly enjoyed it and would recommend it.

Antigone, ancient Greek heroine, ignites the spirits of 4 Syrian women living in Beirut's refugee camps.
