When she published Kiffe-kiffe demain in 2004, Faiza Guene was 19 years old. The book became a sensation in France. At the INA website, you can watch a short news segment about here aired at the time as well as a segment from a 2004 talk show in which guests discussed the book. (These sometimes take a little while to load, so be patient!). You can see a more recent interview with her, from 2008 when her second book came out, here.
