Overview

After a Revolution is a Libyan documentary that follows a brother and sister whose shared passion for their country's future led them to opposite sides of the 2011 revolution — he supported Gaddafi, she joined the rebels. In the years that follow, the film tracks the divergent paths of these two resilient siblings over six years of post-revolutionary Libya: she rises into the ruling class and uses her position to advocate for the marginalized, including those like her brother; he struggles to rebuild a life fractured by war trauma and the stigma of having backed the losing side. A rare and intimate portrait of a divided family navigating a divided nation.
