Boujenah has appeared in over thirty films as well as a variety of television productions. He has also directed the films Father and Sons (2003), Trois amis (2007), and Heartstrings (2016), and written screenplays for a number of others.

In 2017, Boujenah's invitation to appear at a Tunisian cultural festival was protested by activists involved in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel. While Boujenah is not Israeli, he has spoken positively about Israel and said "I feel Jewish, French, Tunisian, Zionist and very close to Israel, as well as a supporter of a Palestinian state." The Tunisian Association for the Support of Minorities defended Boujenah and accused boycott promoters of antisemitism.
