The Rise of the Houthis
Directed by Safa Al Ahmad
A gripping doc by a brave female journalist operating in a harsh testosterone riddled region. In Yemen, the Houthis have seized control but still face formidable opposition from groups linked to Al Qa'ida and Islamic State. The reporter fearlessly crosses the front-lines seeking to understand this complex proxy conflict. The doc reveals Yemen's remarkable turn around, from Saudi backed Sunni rule, to Iran supported Shia dominance.
