Here we continue our journey with another film ‘The are The dogs’ written
and produced by the Moroccan director and scriptwriter HichmaLasri. The film is
shot by a follow camera, and the motion and shakiness of the camera lend the
film a taste of documentary.
The film is about a TV crew who are looking for an interesting story in
the light of the turmoil that the country witnesses in the eve of the Arab
Spring. Among protestors, they find an amnesiac man who has just been released
from 30 years prison after he was arrested in the uprising events on 1981, and
now he is looking for his family.The playful crew manage to help the man who,
doesn’t remember his name. Thus, they resolve to bring together the pieces of the
anonymous man story. At the end of the film, the crew succeed to find the
family, but the welcoming is so cold to the prisoner father who accepts the
matter since he admits that he was not a good father and husband.
The film criticizes media, especially TV, and the way how it distorts
reality. The film highlights many questions, but it answers none; thosequestions are for the audience to introspect, instead.
Freedom of speech, political violence, and social justiceare concepts that span
between the past and the future interposed with citizens’misery.
