HIVE

HIVE (2022)

Written and directed by Blerta Basholli

An award-winning true story of resilience and hope.

Fahrije’s husband has been missing since the war in Kosovo, and along with their grief, her family is struggling financially. In order to provide for them she launches a small business, but in the traditional patriarchal village where she lives, her ambition to empower herself and other women is met with hostility.

Bold and honest, HIVE is a powerful tribute to everyday women who quietly change lives.

Select screenings will be accompanied by an exclusive recorded Q&A with director Blerta Basholli, see below for more details.
