Khadija al-Salami is one of the most popular and richest Film Director who was born on November 11, 1966 in Sana'a, Yemen.
She has been making her own documentaries for quite some time like her most recent one called The Scream (2013) which is a documentary about the Yemen’s uprising that happened in 2011 and what women did during this uprising. She had many works like this such as her documentary A Stranger in her Own City (2005) which is a documentary about exile and how home can keep you trapped with the traditions around it. Al-Salami has even stated that in her film A Stranger in her own City was “never aired on Yemeni television as they were not used to such controversial subject matter”. She had created this film through the own pain she had experienced with arranged marriage as well as the experience of a young girl by the name of Najmia who was 13 years old at the time. She enjoyed filming her because of her carefree spirit and of how she had reminded al-Salami at her age.
Her first feature film, which was entirely shot in Yemen was I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced. The film recounts the true story of Nujood Ali, Yemen’s most famous child bride, who was married off at ten and filed for divorce in court. Al-Salami did not want to tell only Nujood’s story, but also her own and that of many other Yemeni child brides because this allows other young girls to understand the effects of these marriages. Unlike most of her films since she currently resides in Paris, this one was only shot in Yemen. This movie won her the best feature film at the Dubai International Film Festival and was also shown at other festivals. In 2016 her film, I Am Nojoom, Age 10 and Divorced, became the first Yemeni film to be submitted for consideration for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 89th Academy Awards.
