"Non Dirmi che hai Paura", interview with the director Yasemin Şamdereli Federica Scarpa
Fred Film Radio had the pleasure of sitting down with Yasemin Şamdereli, co-director with Deka Mohamed Osman of “Non Dirmi Che Hai Paura“, in competition at Alice nella Città. The film tells the inspiring yet tragic story of Samia Youssef Omar, a young Somali girl who escaped war-torn Mogadishu to follow her dream of competing in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Şamdereli’s film masterfully balances Samia’s journey between the highs of her Olympic aspirations and the devastating realities she faced.
Şamdereli emphasizes the universal nature of Samia’s story, drawing attention to her focus on portraying a “Non Dirmi Che Hai Paura” to whom audiences can relate. “The only difference between us and Samia is where we were born. Some are lucky enough to be born in a safe country, while others like Samia face political turmoil,” she explained. Through this lens, “Non Dirmi Che Hai Paura” highlights the resilience of individuals like Samia, who strive to make the best out of difficult circumstances.
Family plays a central role in Samia’s life and the film. Şamdereli delves into how Samia’s father, her biggest supporter, and her relationships with her sister and friends shaped her journey. “There are many Muslim families, like Samia’s, who support their daughters in chasing their dreams. We often only see one side of the story, but there are so many who empower their children,” Yasemin Şamdereli remarked. This theme, she says, was crucial to portraying a more balanced view of Muslim families.
Yasemin Şamdereli hopes that audiences will leave the film with Samia’s story in their hearts, recognizing the universal human experience behind it. “It’s about seeing the human side of every person, no matter where they come from or what they’ve gone through,” she reflected. Through “Non Dirmi Che Hai Paura“, Şamdereli offers a heartfelt tribute to Samia’s courage and the importance of understanding and empathy.
Samia was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, during the civil war. She was only 9 years old when she discoverd her special talent: she was faster than all the other boys and girls. With the help of her best friend Ali, Samia will turn this talent into a dream: to represent Somalia at the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008. She came in last during the women’s 200 meter race, but the world cheered her on in a truly magical moment. Upon returning to Somalia, Samia was immediately victimized by the reprisals of the Islamic rulers of the country, she had run without a headscarf – an unforgivable mortal sin. Samia now, risking her life, decides to undertake “the journey” to reach Europe following the dream to compete at London Olympics in 2012. Her amazing and inspiring story is the story of a young athlete who defied the odds, but more importantly, is a global story of hope for the many who cross our seas looking for freedom and a better life.
