Nabila

Nabila is a Muslim woman and popular political rapper. In a Swedish white, male dominated society, she's determined to make her voice heard. But Nazi threats and cultural stereotypes stand in her way. Juggling family demands with her burgeoning career and university degree, she straddles a delicate line between two cultures. With both energy and charm, this classic documentary portrays a young woman coming-of-age. "Nobody today looks at the potential of immigrant women," complains Nabila bitterly. "They're like nothing, like the gravel under your shoes." Even as a rapper, she constantly finds herself discriminated against because of her sex. "I'm never considered a good rapper. Just a good girl rapper," she laments. "You keep getting reminded that you're 'just' a girl."
