Zina Zina’s identification with Antigone becomes more and
more credible. What were her hallucinations begin to
take objective form on the streets. The dynamics of Greek
tragedy, always waiting in the wings, step forward to
take control. Zina has won many awards and is regarded
by many as one of the great political motion pictures.
