A painful chapter in Morocco's history is revealed through an interview with a notorious political strongman, about his role in the brutal former regime. Ambiguity still surrounds the country's present and future. In the audacious new feature from Morocco's Hicham Lasri, a once-famous journalist desperate to make a comeback lands a major interview with the dreaded interior minister of the despotic former regime - but the anger and dissension among her camera crew makes it hard to predict whether they'll actually be able to get this controversial show in the can.
