Biography

Nadia Kaci (Arabic: نادية قاسي; born 1970) is an Algerian actress. Kaci was raised in Algiers by a mother who was "colorful, illiterate, and cultured". She taught her daughter feminism from a young age and played darbouka for the seven children. At age 18, Kaci became worried about the direction of Algeria and the freedoms due to the 1988 October Riots and the rise of Islamic nationalism. When she decided to become an actress, her father refused to speak to her for twenty years. Kaci was encouraged to move to France, but initially refused since she thought it was traitorous. She eventually left for France in 1993, after the bigotry became unbearable for her.In 1994, Kaci played Yamina, the liberal sister of Said who is forced to wear a veil, in Bab El-Oued City.
