“هجرة”.. كيف تحولت تجربة شهد أمين الشخصية إلى فيلم؟

So I was playing around with the story of a missing girl for years now. And at one point, it was not clicking with me. As I developed the story more and more, something hit. And I decided why I want to set this film and I want the backdrop of this film to be in pilgrimage. And then when that idea came to formation, I thought, what if the grandmother herself is an immigrant who came to perform pilgrimage years ago? And when that idea was formed, the story didn't become just about a missing girl. The story became about the past, the present and the future. And for me, I wanted to tell a story about different generation of Saudi women and how they can reconcile with one another. And as a writer and a filmmaker, I wanted to enter into the story without prior judgment, without my own judgment coming into the story. So Siti is the matriarch of the family. She is a strict traditional woman who is religious, who has her own values. Zara, the missing girl, she has her own values and her own ideas about life. The young girl, Jenna, she's learning from them what she wants to be, what kind of a woman she wants to be. So most of the locations where we had a large amount of extras was complicated. And production-wise, it was difficult to film. One of the hardest locations that we shot in the Miqat. So it's where people perform the intention to before they go to Mecca. It was a very busy place that we couldn't shut down. And we had almost maybe 400 extras with us on for four days. Also shooting the ending of the scene where we had a lot of extras who had to be brought to a very secluded location where we didn't have a lot of people, a lot of actors. So they had to be driven from a place where it was five hours away. All of these elements were very difficult in Hijrah. Of course, the traveling around was difficult. It was fun, but it was difficult. I'm so happy and proud that Saudi Arabia selected Hijrah to present them at the Oscars. And I think the more films we make...
