Snow White

Both Iman and her younger sister dream of finding true love. For Iman, there is an obvious obstacle: she is a Little Person, only 119 centimeters tall, which puts her out of the running for an arranged marriage. Instead she goes online, hiding her size and compensating with her big laugh and big personality. Her sister has an offer of marriage, but her suitor’s family has second thoughts when they meet Iman—and insists on a top-of-the-range refrigerator as a dowry. This light-hearted but fascinating mix of issues around marriage, disability, and sisterhood has a magnetic star performance by Mariam Sherif at its very big heart.
