Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a Actor, Scriptwriter and Producer Néerlandaise born on 13 november 1969 at Mogadishu
Ayaan Hirsi Ali ([ɑˈjaːn ˈɦirsi ˈaːli]; full name: Ayaan Hirsi Magan Isse Guleid Ali Wai’ays Muhammad Ali Umar Osman Mahamud; Somali: Ayaan Xirsi Cali; Arabic: أيان حرسي علي / ALA-LC: Ayān Ḥirsī ‘Alī) (born 13 November 1969) is a Somali-Dutch-American feminist and atheist activist, writer and politician who is known for her views critical of female genital mutilation and Islam. She wrote the screenplay for Theo van Gogh's movie Submission, after which she and the director both received death threats, and the director was assassinated. The daughter of the Somali politician and opposition leader Hirsi Magan Isse, she is a founder of the women's rights organisation the AHA Foundation.
When she was eight, Hirsi Ali's family left Somalia for Saudi Arabia, then Ethiopia, and eventually settled in Kenya. She sought and obtained political asylum in the Netherlands in 1992, under circumstances that later became the centre of a political controversy. In 2003 she was elected a member of the House of Representatives (the lower house of the Dutch parliament), representing the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD). A political crisis surrounding the potential stripping of her Dutch citizenship led to her resignation from the parliament, and led indirectly to the fall of the second Balkenende cabinet in 2006.
In 2005, she was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. She has also received several awards, including a free speech award from the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, the Swedish Liberal Party's Democracy Prize, and the Moral Courage Award for commitment to conflict resolution, ethics, and world citizenship. In 2006 she published a memoir. The English translation in 2007 is titled Infidel. As of 2013 Hirsi Ali is a fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, a member of the The Future of Diplomacy Project at the Belfer Center, and lives in the United States. She is married to British historian and public commentator Niall Ferguson. She became a naturalized citizen of the United States on April 25, 2013.

Submission décrit quatre femmes incarnées par la même actrice voilée, vêtue d'un tchador transparent, son corps nu tatoué de versets du Coran. Ces personnages sont des musulmanes qui ont été maltraitées de différentes façons. Le film fait entendre les monologues de ces femmes, en soulignant trois versets du Coran appelant à de bons comportements au sein du couple, le rôle de l'homme et de la femme dans une relation pieuse, ainsi que des règles régissant le divorce et la réconciliation ; puis citant une certaine supériorité de l'homme par rapport à la femme, d'une façon très complexe, livrée à plusieurs interprétations, en les montrant inscrits sur le corps des femmes.
