SHADYA

Last night Lisa and I watched the documentary SHADYA from PBS' Independent Lens series. From its website:

Seventeen-year-old Shadya Zoabi is a world champion in karate, but in her traditional Muslim village in northern Israel, succeeding on her own terms is no easy feat. SHADYA is the coming-of-age story of a young Israeli-Arab woman struggling to balance her dreams with tradition and cultural expectations.

It was good. The interaction between Shadya, her sister, her brother, her husband. I give it 4 out of 5.
