Possessed by Djinn
“Sparked by the true story of Aya, a four-year-old Jordanian girl killed by her father because he believed her to be possessed, filmmaker Dalia Al Kury launches a fascinating investigation into a controversial and little-known aspect of Islamic culture: belief in djinn. Djinn are supernatural creatures that occupy a parallel world to ours and their emergence is associated with sexuality, political unrest, poverty and mental illness. Al Kury journeys into the obscure world of exorcists and the possessed, confronting their traditions and rituals.” (Hot Docs Film Festival)
