Enjoyable, fearless and unexpected whodunit fights patriarchy in surprising ways
The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Unidentified” showing June 19-25 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.
“Unidentified” is a Saudi murder mystery from the award-winning director of “Wadjda”.
Sparked by the discovery of the lifeless body of a teenage girl in the desert; When no one claims the body, Noelle Al Saffan — a newly divorced, true crime aficionado who recently lost a child of her own — gets obsessively involved.
Despite a ticking clock that seemingly guarantees the girl’s senseless death will be discarded as a cold case, Noelle is determined to identify the body and uncover the truth. She slowly unravels a mystery entangled within a traditional society in transition, where women are learning to create more space for themselves and to take control of their own destinies.
