"Rachida" is a pretty, young school teacher.The title character, as the centerpiece of this story which spends most of its time looking at the problems which beset Algeria in the 1990s when the country was struggling with civil war. This testament by its female Algerian director digs into life as a woman in the Sunni Muslim patriarchal culture and the day to day living with anxiety and fear as bands of guerrilla thugs roam the streets.A dramatic movie about terrorism,romance, betrayal of traditions,and living in a country where the uncertain may happen at any time.It is a film definitely worth watching.
