I Am Nojoom, Age 10 and Divorced is a Yemeni cinematic gem directed by Khadija al-Salami that immerses us in the harsh reality of a young girl named Nojoom in Yemen.

The film is based on the story of Nujood Ali, who sought divorce from her abusive husband at age 10.

Through Nojoom's lens, we witness her struggle against child marriage and the injustice she faces. The film shows us the difficulties Nojoom faces, her courage to face adversity and her struggle to find her voice in a society that silences her.

"I Am Nojoom, Age 10 and Divorced" is a film that confronts us with relevant and disturbing issues, such as forced marriage and the lack of women's rights in some societies.

Nojoom, a ten-year-old Yemeni girl, asks a judge in Sana'a to grant her a divorce from a horrible marriage after she was married off to avoid a public scandal following the rape of her sister.

It was selected as the Yemeni entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 89th Oscars, the first time Yemen submitted a film in competition. However, it was not nominated.
