Nour makes a living from smuggling exotic animals and illicit products. Wishing to get her son out of the city and offer him a better future, she designs and develops an mobile app that connects clients and marabouts. It’s a success but a patient’s consultation turns into a tragedy!
“SAÏD BELKTIBIA’S HOOD WITCH IS A CRAFTED STORY OF SOCIAL COMMENTARY SPRINKLING IN THE PLIGHT OF MANY IN IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES WHO STILL ADHERE TO THE WAYS OF THE OLD COUNTRY.”
– BLOODY FLICKS
“IMAGINE LIVING IN A WORLD WHERE ONE WRONGLY-TIMED SNEEZE COULD IGNITE FRENZIED ACCUSATIONS OF WITCHCRAFT AND DEMONOLOGY. SUCH INSANITY SEEMS IMPLAUSIBLE IN OUR ENLIGHTENED ERA, YET SAÏD BELKTIBIA’S GRIPPING THRILLER “HOOD WITCH” POSITS THAT THE MISOGYNISTIC PERSECUTION OF WOMEN HAS SIMPLY SHAPE-SHIFTED INTO NEW, TERRIFYING FORMS.”
