DUBAI: Renowned Tunisian filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania has made history as she got her second Oscar nomination – a first for an Arab woman.

Her previous film, “The Man Who Sold His Skin,” won her a nod for Best International Feature Film at the 2021 awards. In an earlier interview with Arab News, Ben Hania said, “It’s not about one scene or another. All those themes were very important to me.”Ben Hania started working on “Four Daughters” in 2016, when she first heard the story on the news in Tunisia.
