There are several films and series that feature or are produced by Habesha women, showcasing their talent and stories. Here are a few notable examples:
They had grown up in the same neighborhood in Kirkos, two houses separated by a concrete wall with cracks wide enough to pass notes through. As children, they had invented a language of those cracks — folded paper, pebbles tapped against the other side, once a live chicken pushed through as a joke that Sara's mother never forgave.

Meron scrolled through her phone at a café near Bole, the morning light cutting through the curtains in golden ribbons. Her thumb paused on a video — a Habesha woman dancing eskista, shoulders rolling in waves that seemed impossible, her netela floating behind her like a wing.
Three million views.
"Again," Meron whispered, watching it a fourth time.
The woman in the video had no name attached. No handle. Just a shared post that had been copied and stolen across ten different pages, each one claiming her without knowing her.
