Mona Mansour

A mockumentary about big-hearted strippers, drag queens, and a group of rabid feminists.

What would National Coming Out Day be without a humorous instructional video on what everyone needs to burst out of that closet? This film has all the answers. Wouldn’t it be great if all infomercials looked like this?

Mia, an American conflict photographer, wakes up at the site of a massacre in Syria, not sure how she got there. With her Turkish girlfriend Derya and her Californian mother Jane, Mia must slowly piece together the details of her past to find out what happened. Mona Mansour’s beautifully human and surprisingly humorous play asks what it would mean for our souls—personally and as a nation—if we were to truly see the impact of our actions.
