Fish on You

Amal Seela
(Tunis)

An entertaining and educational satirical documentary series Fish on You takes a candid look at the unique traditions of weddings in Sfax, Tunisia. The author knew the only way she could survive her 7-day Tunisian wedding with outdated traditions, a big, opinionated family, a bag of doubts, and a lot of dancing is if she could make a satirical documentary about it. This will be the first ever documentary series about Tunisian weddings, that represents the unique collision between colonial and patriarchal structure of Tunisian weddings, and the warmth of family, love, community, and celebration.
