Militants, is a 2011 Tunisian movie, directed by Sonia Chamkhi. with a runtime of 52 minutes.
Militants is a documentary film set in Tunisia in October 2011, nine months after the January 14 Revolution, following women candidates in the elections for the Constituent Assembly. The film captures a diverse group — party representatives, complete political newcomers, early-days activists, and independent candidates — as they campaign across Tunisian cities and villages, conducting door-to-door canvassing, holding rallies, entering traditionally male-dominated cafés, and distributing their leaflets. Exploring who these women are, what brought them into the political arena, and what drives them to fight an unprecedented battle, the film is a landmark document of women's political participation in the Arab Spring era and a testament to the courage of those who stepped forward at a historic turning point.
