Synopsis

Shot over five years, the film tells the story of how Zineb El Rhazoui, a Moroccan activist and journalist, became a survivor of the Charlie Hebdo Attack in Paris.

When the Arab Spring turns into the Islamist Autumn, Zineb decides to leave Morocco. She settles in Paris and finds a new professional family at Charlie Hebdo. For the first time in her career, she can work in uncensored freedom amongst kindred souls.

On the 7th of January 2015, her newfound happiness is shot down. As by wonder she was not present when the terrorists came and killed her friends and colleagues.

Shocked at first, she quickly decides to make a stand against terrorism and becomes a public figure speaking out against radical Islam. From that day on she becomes the most protected women in France, under constant police protection.
