The Perfect Candidate

When Maryam, a hardworking young doctor in a small-town clinic, is prevented from flying to Dubai for a conference without a male guardian’s approval, she seeks help from a politically connected cousin but inadvertently registers as a candidate for the municipal council. Maryam sees the election as a way to fix the muddy road in front of her clinic, but her campaign slowly garners broader appeal.

The event will begin with a screening of the short film, If Only You Knew (15 minutes), followed by The Perfect Candidate (105 minutes), both of which will be shared directly in the Webinar.

Open to USC Students, Faculty, Staff, Alumni, and the General Public.
