Directed by Óliver Laxe | 78 mins | 2010
Born from a filmmaking workshop the director conducted with underprivileged children in Tangier, Laxe’s feature debut takes this real-life scenario as its premise but lights off into uncharted terrain when the pupils, rankling at his oblivious paternalism, decide to mutiny. An audaciously original documentary-narrative hybrid with much to import concerning the complex power dynamics between those in front of the camera and those behind it, as well as between Europe and its former colonial subjects.
