It’s easy to see how extremism can divide a nation, but sadly, extremist brainwashing can also divide a family. It happened to the family of Olfa Hamrouni, who entered into international prominence when she spoke about the radicalization of her two oldest daughters. The family story is depicted in Four Daughters, but the documentary takes a much more personal approach, as archival footage is interspersed with recreations of the past and behind-the-scenes conversations held between the family and the actors depicting the scenes. With this issue spreading throughout the globe, Four Daughters is a necessary documentary. The personal, compelling approach helps drive that home.

The re-enactment. The actors could never replace the women in question, but having them stand in makes it clear how painful remembering this traumatic experience is.
