Casablanca: One-Way Ticket to Paradise
Director: Hind Meddeb

MOROCCO, FRANCE
2008, colour, 45'

Casablanca, May 16, 2003. Fourteen young Moroccans are engaged in a collective suicide bomb attack. Hind Meddeb and Gallagher Fenwick leave on the tracks of the kamikazes at the origin of the drama. The terrorists had about twenty years and all came from the same district: shanty Thomastown, situated in the suburb of Casablanca. Thanks to the accounts of their neighbours, their ancient companions of football, their friends and one of their sisters, the spectator discovers the life of this shanty town, the sufferings and hopes of a part of Moroccan youth.
