Overview

Forbidden is a documentary by filmmaker Amal Ramsis that captures life under a dictatorship where political rights are severely curtailed, yet an undercurrent of social and political resistance refuses to die. Shot without the crew's prior knowledge of impending events, the film was dramatically transformed when a revolution erupted on the final day of production. What began as one film became another — a rare, unplanned document of historical upheaval recorded from within the moment it unfolded.
