I have seen a film called Papicha is a story of a smart student majoring in fashion who sneaks out of her dorm with her mate Wassila, avoiding the gun-toting zealots, to go dancing in a western-style nightclub where she also has a side-hustle in the ladies’ room selling dresses she has made.

The essay will inspire of the film Papicha to discuss building resilience and mental toughness.
