Interesting facts

You Resemble Me is a 2021 internationally co-produced drama film, directed by Dina Amer in her directorial debut, from a screenplay by Amer and Omar Mullick. It stars Lorenza Grimaudo, Ilonna Grimaudo, Mouna Soualem, Sabrina Ouazani, Dina Amer, Alexandre Gonin, Grégoire Colin and Zinedine Soualem. Spike Lee, Spike Jonze, Riz Ahmed, Alma Har'el, and Claire Denis serve as executive producers on the film.

Production

Dina Amer worked as a reporter for Vice News and reported on the 2015 Saint-Denis raid, in which it was later found that the police report that Hasna Aït Boulahcen was a suicide bomber was false. Amer felt complicit in spreading the narrative, and wanted to look into her further.

For the role of younger Hasna and her sister, Mariam, the process of "street casting" was used to find real-life sisters Lorenza and Illonna Grimaudo. For the role of Hasna, Amer cast three different actresses, including herself, Mouna Soualem and Sabrina Ouazani.
