    Activism takes many forms. In this case, she is using the power of comedy as a form of positive propaganda, trying to persuade people to reflect on themselves and their culture.

    This is a news feature produced by AlJazeera, which is known for quality journalism. The video itself both informs and persuades by featuring the comedian's ideas. Is it propaganda? The use of interview plus performance footage gives viewers a sense of intimacy with the comedian and this combination does have a powerful persuasive impact. It counters negative stereotypes that people might have about Tunisia.
