Life
Amamra is the younger sister of the director Houda Benyamina (* 1980). She first attended a Catholic private school and learned classical dance. When her sister founded the 1000 Visages association in 2006 , which promotes diversity in film art and, among other things, enables artists from marginalized groups to implement their works, Amamra helped with the shooting. At the age of 12, Amamra began to play theater at MJC Jean Mermoz in her hometown and participated in various auditions . She appeared in her first short films, including Le commencement by Guillaume Tordjman , Belle gueule by Emma Benestan and Un métier bien by Farid Bentoumi . In 2014, she took on the role of the rebellious youth Yaël in the multi-part television series Dreimal Manon .
Benyamina cast Amamra in 2014 in her medium -length film Ghetto Child , which she made with Guillaume Tordjman. Amamra's breakthrough came in 2016 as the rebellious Dounia in the film Divines , which was again directed by Benyamina. Amamra took boxing lessons in advance, among other things, and changed her clothing style to get closer to the figure. She finally prevailed against 3000 competitors and took on the lead role alongside Déborah Lukumuena . For her portrayal of Dounia, who wants to make it big in the drug business, Amamra won a César for Best Young Actress in 2017 and a Prix Lumières , also for Best Young Actress.
