AÏT ATTA: Nomads of the High Atlas (Morocco)

Streaming video - 2020

The Ait Atta tribe preserves their ancestral right of access to the agdal, a communal land management system that dates back hundreds of years in Morocco. The film follows Ben Youssef family's arduous journey from desert-like landscapes to green pastures along uneven terrain of steep climbs and descents of the High Atlas mountains. An ethnographic story, the film juxtaposes the hopes, constraints, obligations and sacrifices of a family torn between traditions and need to adapt to modern life.
