Horses of God
No one is born a martyr.
Directed by Nabil Ayouch
Produced by Ali'n Productions, Centre Cinématographique Marocain
A sobering, intimate portrait of two brothers' descent into radicalization across a decade, grounded in the specific desperation and spiritual searching of Moroccan slum life.
The film follows two brothers over the course of a decade. While they begin as kids in search of thrills in the sprawling slums of Morocco’s Sidi Moumen, we witness their gradual, and ultimately shocking, radicalisation.
