Fatima Al-Banawi visits Google to discuss her career and her
project entitled The Other Story, a collection of real life stories
and personal narratives from locals and visitors to her hometown of
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. These collections enter the social arena
through storytelling to highlight our shared humanity and to record
the eclectic voices of a specific place and time in history.
Fatima Al-Banawi is an internationally acclaimed actress,
filmmaker, and writer with a masters degree from Harvard
university. She believes in the power of storytelling as a way to
channel vulnerable and intimate conversations, which helped her to
earn the title of the 2018 Next Generation Leader by Time Magazine.
In 2016, she became internationally recognized for her debut in the
award winning Saudi feature film, Barakah Meets Barakah, which
helped pave the way for Saudi Arabian cinema.
