Claire Belhassine’s Tunisian grandfather died when she was young. She remembers him from childhood summer holidays in Tunisia, sitting quietly in his chair, never the centre of attention. But years later, sitting in a taxi in Paris, Claire came upon her grandfather’s glamorous past. Claire made a documentary about her grandfather's story. It's called The Man Behind The Microphone and it is screening at the Shubbak Festival in London.
