HOPE! is a short documentary film about the transformation of emotions and identity. Rajae El Mouhandiz is: Female, Moroccan, Algerian, Dutch, Arabic, Amazigh, Muslim, Western, European, Immigrant.... Artist. She is known as a powerful artistic voice and a music pioneer. In the summer of 2012, Rajae wakes up at night. She realizes it has been 18 years since she left her nest to shine light on the universe and into people's hearts. A milestone and a conviction....

It took Rajae 18 years to find the right words: Why she struggled with her existence. Why music saved her life. Why she dares to make her dreams come true. Why she needs to be a game-changer. With this film, Rajae aims to start a much-needed dialogue about the acceptance of Muslim women in the performing arts and in the music industry, as well as reactions to their public presence in the world.
