“Mariam’s Choice” and the “Zawya” sit-in: a crime that speaks for itself!

The apology issued by the management of the Zawya cinema for the behavior of some of its employees toward a young director who decided to protest alone in front of the cinema is perhaps one of the best examples of good behavior we have seen in our artistic and cultural life recently. Violence and “rudeness” have become a way of life in our society, to the point that one is surprised to find someone apologizing to another or to see civilized behavior from someone, as if it were something unexpected and rare.
