Love & Revenge, is a 2021 Saudi movie, directed by Anhar Salem and Ansam Salem, and starring Ansam Salem, Badriya Ahmad. with a runtime of 31 minutes.
Love and Revenge is an experimental docu-fiction film following Doody (Badriah Ahmed) and Ansam Salem as they portray fictionalized versions of themselves navigating life as young women in contemporary Saudi society. The film grows out of a real incident in which Doody faced mass online bullying and official scrutiny after publishing a photograph. Through staged scenes of private and public moments, it blurs the boundaries between reality, social media identity, and fiction, interrogating how women survive in an environment of hyper-scrutinized visibility. The film stands as a poetic tribute to Doody, who passed away after its release, leaving behind her last words on her Instagram account. A haunting meditation on self-representation, digital culture, and survival.
