Overview

Our Forbidden Places (Nos Lieux Interdits) is a powerful Moroccan documentary revisiting the darkest years of King Hassan II's repressive rule — the so-called Years of Lead in the 1970s and 80s — during which hundreds of political dissidents were forcibly disappeared. Following the accession of a new king and the establishment of Morocco's truth and reconciliation commission in the early 2000s, the film gives voice to the families of the missing: parents, siblings, and children who spent decades without answers, waiting for the state to acknowledge what was done to their loved ones. A vital record of memory, injustice, and the long struggle for truth.
