Hafsia Herzi Talks Challenges Of Making LGBT-Themed Cannes Competition Title ‘The Little Sister’

In February, she became the first French artist of North African ancestry to win Best Actress in the 50th edition of France’s César awards for her performance in Corsica-set drama Borgo, as a prison guard suspected of being an accomplice in a double murder. Herzi, who was born in France to parents of Algerian and Tunisian origin, has been steadily building her career ever since being discovered in Abdellatif Kechiche’s Coucous( La Graine et Le Mulet) in 2007.
