On the morning of January 14, 2011, Alaeddine Slim (a producer and film director), attended the demonstration on Habib Bourguiba Avenue, unaware of the fact that only a few hours later he would experience things that would forever change his relationship to downtown Tunis and filmmaking.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly at first, but as a funeral procession crosses the avenue around 3pm, the police take advantage of this to violently start repressing the demonstration.

Alaeddine subsequently seeks refuge at the nearby offices of his production company, but finds himself at the entrance with about fifty other people, also seeking refuge. 

They would be stuck in the office space until 2am, terrified from the sounds of police patrols forcibly breaking into neighbouring buildings.

The group ended up being spotted by the police, and would have to spend the rest of the night in the premises of the Ministry of the Interior. In this episode, Alaeddine describes the many humiliating and brutal practices of the police up until when they were released the following day.

ABOUT

Inkyfada Podcast is the first platform entirely dedicated to original Tunisian podcasts, and was conceived by Inkyfada media in collaboration with the in-house research and development laboratory, InkyLab.
Inkyfada joined the global podcast boom in 2017, when the team produced the first Tunisian audio documentary, diving deep into the belly of the El Kamour struggle taking place in the desert.
Since then, Inkyfada Podcast has produced a wide variety of documentaries, investigations, and podcast series, as well as articles accompanied by music; covering a multitude of contemporary issues in order to offer an immersive and alternative podcast experience.
Whilst exclusively offering audio content, the Inkyfada Podcast team upholds the same core values and principles of inkyfada.com, and is committed to producing high quality content though a dynamic and meticulous production process.
In addition to the permanent team, Inkyfada podcast works closely with various journalists, artists, illustrators, musicians and other content creators in order to diversify the platform and support artistic creativity.
These podcasts differ from traditional radiophonic content in that the applied production and editing process is more akin to cinematographic techniques, in addition to being web-based, downloadable and accessible on demand.
Additionally, Inkyfada Podcast uniquely offers subtitles in French, Arabic and English for all audio content, the majority of which is recorded in Tunisian or in the preferred language of the speaker in question.
