Do you know anyone who can leave his
mother? Nobody can. |

00:00:09:11 |
00:00:14:06 |

But the living conditions are too
harsh here. |

Al Hoceima is a city in the Rif region in Northern Morocco. |

When a fishmonger
was killed four years ago |
|
00:00:32:12 |
00:00:34:08 |
X |
the situation
escalates. |
|
00:00:34:21 |
00:00:36:14 |
X |
A popular movement
is emerging, |
|
00:00:36:16 |
00:00:38:03 |
X |
also known as the Hirak. |
|
00:00:38:16 |
00:00:40:18 |
X |
Demonstrations
reach Europe. |
|
00:00:40:22 |
00:00:43:11 |
X |
Yet our media
barely picks up on the subject. |
|
00:00:43:24 |
00:00:46:01 |

I want to
understand what's going on. |

Before I travel to
Morocco, I meet up with Mohammed. |
|
00:00:49:16 |
00:00:54:03 |

He fled Morocco and
witnessed the events from close by. |

00:00:55:18 |

Mohammed Amzir |
I fled from Al Hoceima. |
|
00:00:57:17 |
00:00:58:23 |
One year ago |
||
00:00:59:07 |
00:01:01:20 |
I came here without any papers. |
||
00:01:02:00 |
00:01:03:22 |
I will continue in Berber from now
on. |
||
00:01:04:10 |
00:01:07:09 |
Mohsin Fikri,
the poor guy. |
||
00:01:07:09 |
00:01:10:05 |
He bought them with his own money. |
||
00:01:10:05 |
00:01:13:24 |
But he also has to pay a bribe here
and there |
||
00:01:14:20 |
00:01:15:16 |
But he refuses. |
||
00:01:15:16 |
00:01:17:18 |
So they took his fish and threw it in
the garbage truck. |
||
00:01:18:02 |
00:01:19:00 |
He went after his fish. |
||
00:01:19:04 |
00:01:20:20 |
They then activated the garbage truck
press. |
||
00:01:20:20 |
00:01:22:13 |
You've probably seen the images. |
||
00:01:26:19 |
00:01:29:20 |
A person keeps thinking about it and
cannot sleep on it. |

Mohammed's best
friend, Nasser Zefzafi, demands justice. |

He calls on the
population to stand up for their rights. |

Mohammed Amzir |
Enough is enough! |
|
00:01:40:18 |
00:01:42:06 |
Now we are going to come together
hand in hand |
||
00:01:42:13 |
00:01:43:14 |
and get our righteousness back. |
||
00:01:46:21 |
00:01:51:02 |
We demonstrated for eight months. |
||
00:01:51:02 |
00:01:52:03 |
In peace. |
||
00:01:53:02 |
00:01:54:11 |
Hospitals. |
||
00:01:54:15 |
00:01:57:19 |
A university where our brothers and
sisters can study. |
||
00:01:58:06 |
00:01:59:20 |
Employment opportunities, because we
want to work. |
||
00:01:59:20 |
00:02:01:18 |
Those were our demands. Three basic
needs. |
||
00:02:03:08 |
00:02:05:06 |
They answered us. Do you know how
they answered us? |
||
00:02:05:09 |
00:02:07:00 |
They arrested us. |
||
00:02:07:07 |
00:02:10:17 |
Lots of young guys, even the little
ones who still go to school. |
||
00:02:10:23 |
00:02:15:11 |
If I had stayed, they would have
arrested me too. |

Protesters were
arrested en masse. |

00:02:42:17 |
00:02:46:03 |
X |
Mohammed's best
friend Nasser was seen as protest leader. |
|
00:02:46:03 |
00:02:48:09 |
X |
He was sentenced to
20 years in prison. |

I tavel undercover to Al Hoceima
province. |
|
00:02:53:16 |
00:02:57:10 |
X |
The area has been
militarized and journalists are no longer welcome. |
|
00:02:58:12 |
00:03:01:06 |
X |
As I approach the
city, I notice the many checkpoints. |
|
00:03:04:11 |
00:03:06:16 |
X |
There is a police
officer on the corner of every street. |
|
00:03:07:22 |
00:03:12:20 |
X |
And hidden behind a
hill, between city and sea, is an army tent camp. |
|
00:03:16:23 |
00:03:18:08 |
X |
We can't get any
closer than this. |
|
00:03:18:13 |
00:03:22:06 |
X |
Because for filming
authorities, we too can get a prison sentence. |
|
00:03:29:19 |
00:03:32:07 |
X |
It is day one and
it is almost going wrong. |
|
00:03:32:07 |
00:03:34:21 |
X |
We are being
watched and chased. |
|
00:03:35:00 |
00:03:38:04 |
X |
Fortunately, we
quickly notice them and manage to shake them off. |
|
00:03:38:15 |
00:03:40:11 |
I've only seen black sunglasses. |
||
00:03:40:22 |
00:03:42:22 |
I'm not sure if I would recognize
him. |
||
00:03:42:22 |
00:03:45:04 |
They're not exactly subtle. |
||
00:03:45:04 |
00:03:46:09 |
Uh-oh, police. |
||
00:03:46:09 |
00:03:48:15 |
Have you been calling Ahmed? |
||
00:03:48:18 |
00:03:54:13 |
X |
Our guide points
out that we risk being overheard when we contact relatives of protesters. |
|
00:03:55:00 |
00:03:56:12 |
His phone is tapped anyway. |
||
00:03:56:18 |
00:04:03:03 |
I was warned about
the Moroccan snitch system but I did not expect that I had to be so vigilant
from now on. |
||
00:04:04:13 |
00:04:09:22 |
We meet Hamza, a
small self-employed person. He agrees to talk to us, but only anonymously. |
||
00:04:10:18 |
00:04:14:22 |
Hamza is not his
real name. |
You are not allowed to talk about
anything. There is no free speech. |
|
00:04:14:22 |
00:04:24:20 |
X |
The government appoints certain people
to keep an eye on everything. |
|
00:04:25:10 |
00:04:29:00 |
X |
When a snitch is working, he wears
civilian clothes and has a drink in a bar. |
|
00:04:29:00 |
00:04:33:06 |
X |
He overhears what people say and
informs the police about it. |
|
00:04:33:07 |
00:04:36:03 |
X |
He says: I overheard this and that.
It's actually his job. |
|
00:04:36:03 |
00:04:39:06 |
X |
They find them elsewhere, they are
not from here. |
|
00:04:40:07 |
00:04:42:08 |
X |
They go to someone who is completely
poor. |
|
00:04:42:08 |
00:04:49:02 |
X |
And they propose: We'll give you a
bag of flour, oil and sugar in exchange for information. |
|
00:04:49:13 |
00:04:50:04 |
X |
You see? |
|
00:04:50:07 |
00:04:54:13 |
X |
It is they who have betrayed our
brothers and sisters |
|
00:04:55:16 |
00:04:59:22 |
I too feel more and
more rushed |
||
00:05:05:13 |
00:05:08:22 |
But wherever we go, |
||
00:05:10:06 |
00:05:15:07 |
We've been walking around in this
town for only half an hour |
||
00:05:15:07 |
00:05:20:00 |
Locals told us that in this street
alone live four snitches. |
||
00:05:20:05 |
00:05:23:12 |
So you can imagine how many there are
in this town alone. |
||
00:05:24:05 |
00:05:29:04 |
When we take a
taxi, the topic of the protest movement |
||
00:05:29:04 |
00:05:30:23 |
We secretly record
the conversation. |
||
00:05:31:30 |
00:05:32:30 |
|||
00:05:33:03 |
00:05:37:21 |
Anonymous, taxi
driver |
I've been in prison for a year,
myself. |
|
00:05:37:21 |
00:05:38:21 |
Why? |
||
00:05:38:24 |
00:05:41:15 |
When they arrested people, we
protested. |
||
00:05:41:15 |
00:05:43:17 |
I was one of them. |
||
00:05:43:17 |
00:05:47:20 |
That's why they arrested me too. |
||
00:05:47:20 |
00:05:48:22 |
Just like that. |
||
00:05:50:04 |
00:05:57:11 |
Now they are looking for the ones
that fled. |
||
00:05:57:11 |
00:06:01:09 |
As soon as their papers are ready and
they arrive here, |
||
00:06:01:16 |
00:06:04:14 |
- As if they committed a crime or a
murder. |
||
00:06:04:14 |
00:06:06:02 |
Even then they wouldn't be sentenced
to 20 years in prison. |
||
00:06:06:10 |
00:06:08:09 |
If you kill someone, you don't get 20
years. |
||
00:06:09:05 |
00:06:13:04 |
Recently ... I don't remember where
exactly ... |
||
00:06:13:10 |
00:06:15:17 |
A man murdered 5 young men |
||
00:06:15:19 |
00:06:19:19 |
He had connections with the
authorities. |
||
00:06:19:19 |
00:06:22:21 |
A family member works for the police |
||
00:06:27:12 |
00:06:30:18 |
One of my friends work for the
police. |
||
00:06:30:18 |
00:06:33:17 |
When the Hirak
arose, he was being transferred here. |
||
00:06:33:17 |
00:06:37:07 |
They arrested my neighbour boy |
||
00:06:37:07 |
00:06:39:23 |
My friend said: Wait, I want to talk
to him. |
||
00:06:39:23 |
00:06:43:17 |
They went outside and he said: Run! |
||
00:06:43:17 |
00:06:47:20 |
He brought him outside so he could
run away. |
||
00:06:48:08 |
00:06:51:17 |
When a family member works for the
police, |
||
00:06:51:17 |
00:06:52:17 |
You can do whatever you want. |
||
00:06:55:22 |
00:06:59:15 |
We visit the
parents of former protest leader Nasser Zefzafi. |
||
00:06:59:18 |
00:07:03:18 |
Since the arrest of
their son, |
||
00:07:03:18 |
00:07:05:19 |
and their mobile
phones are being tapped. |
||
00:07:06:03 |
00:07:10:18 |
Two weeks ago two
Spanish journalists were met by the authorities |
||
00:07:11:04 |
00:07:15:05 |
To attract less
attention, we wait untill dawn |
||
00:07:15:05 |
00:07:16:21 |
There are no snoopers. |
||
00:07:16:21 |
00:07:20:13 |
He even put up cameras for his own
safety. |
||
00:07:20:19 |
00:07:24:15 |
Ahmed Zefzafi
advised to arrive the other side of the house. |
||
00:07:30:18 |
00:07:40:10 |
Ahmed Zefzafi - father of protest leader Nasser Zefzafi |
Ever since he was born, Nasser has
been against injustice. |
|
00:07:40:11 |
00:07:44:23 |
When he didn't like something, he
made a live video about it. |
||
00:07:45:11 |
00:07:50:10 |
The 29th of May he was arrested. |
||
00:07:50:10 |
00:07:56:10 |
They made him suffer a lot. |
||
00:07:56:10 |
00:08:01:07 |
It was so bad that his head had to be
stitched. |
||
00:08:02:17 |
00:08:15:06 |
They hid the bloody clothes he was
wearing |
||
00:08:15:09 |
00:08:21:02 |
The state is obliged to provide him
with medical assistance, |
||
00:08:21:19 |
00:08:26:15 |
On the contrary. His medical file was
kept hidden |
||
00:08:26:18 |
00:08:29:19 |
Zulikha Zefzafi - moeder protestleider |
All those troops that had closed the
road, |
|
00:08:29:19 |
00:08:32:19 |
A complete blockade over the entire neighborhood, |
||
00:08:32:21 |
00:08:35:17 |
Then the police stormed in. |
||
00:08:35:17 |
00:08:36:21 |
They turned the house upside down. |
||
00:08:37:07 |
00:08:39:22 |
They really gave us a beating. |
||
00:08:44:02 |
00:08:49:15 |
Although Al hoceima
has a prison, |
||
00:08:49:15 |
00:08:54:01 |
According to Amnesty International, |
||
00:08:55:20 |
00:08:58:15 |
Leaked audiofile
of Nasser Zefzafi |
When the authorities invaded the house
in which I was hiding, |
|
00:08:58:15 |
00:09:01:20 |
they beat me, kicked and spat on me. |
||
00:09:03:09 |
00:09:06:03 |
They threw me on the floor and
undressed me. |
||
00:09:06:16 |
00:09:08:18 |
They took out their genitals |
||
00:09:08:24 |
00:09:13:07 |
and started to urinate all over my
face and body. |
||
00:09:13:07 |
00:09:16:17 |
All this before the eyes of
officials. |
||
00:09:17:11 |
00:09:19:06 |
Plus the rape |
||
00:09:19:06 |
00:09:21:17 |
while I was lying on the floor with
my hands handcuffed backwards. |
||
00:09:21:18 |
00:09:24:05 |
They took my pants off and put a bat
in my butt. |
||
00:09:25:00 |
00:09:31:02 |
A few of them rubbed their genitals
on my face and from behind. |
||
00:09:31:02 |
00:09:33:22 |
Some things I shoudln't
tell |
||
00:09:34:20 |
00:09:39:00 |
because I don't want to make you feel
sick. |
||
00:09:39:11 |
00:09:43:00 |
But the situation forces me to say
this. |
||
00:09:44:08 |
00:09:46:20 |
Zoulikha Zefzafi, mother of Nasser Zefzafi |
When I hear all that, I go crazy. |
|
00:09:47:11 |
00:09:49:06 |
Aren't they ashamed? |
||
00:09:50:08 |
00:09:51:10 |
I can't even visit him. |
||
00:09:53:09 |
00:09:59:19 |
The younger, elder, women, girls, |
||
00:09:59:19 |
00:10:04:10 |
boys, engineers, doctors, teachers
... |
||
00:10:04:10 |
00:10:11:07 |
All layers of Al Hoceima
society. |
||
00:10:11:08 |
00:10:14:00 |
But they never lit a fire. |
||
00:10:14:15 |
00:10:18:01 |
They never destroyed anything, nor
hurt anyone. |
||
00:10:18:01 |
00:10:22:17 |
These people are innocent so they
should be released. |
||
00:10:24:08 |
00:10:30:17 |
After the arrests, nothing remains of
the city. |
||
00:10:32:03 |
00:10:38:11 |
Recently an airline company was supposed
to settle here. |
||
00:10:38:11 |
00:10:43:11 |
They couldn't get a permit so they
had to go. |
||
00:10:44:06 |
00:10:49:01 |
Some Spanish came over to open a
factory. |
||
00:10:49:01 |
00:10:52:00 |
I don't remember what it was for, |
||
00:10:52:00 |
00:10:53:00 |
- Why not? |
||
00:10:53:03 |
00:10:56:08 |
That's what we've been asking
ourselves. |
||
00:10:56:12 |
00:10:58:05 |
Why? |
||
00:10:58:05 |
00:11:01:10 |
When we asked that question, our
children were arrested. |
||
00:11:08:05 |
00:11:16:00 |
You see someone heading down the
street with his cart |
||
00:11:16:00 |
00:11:20:08 |
Then the police passes by and throws
away his goods. |
||
00:11:20:23 |
00:11:25:18 |
We're not asking to support us, |
||
00:11:30:06 |
00:11:35:06 |
Breaking down a road, building a new
one, break it down again |
||
00:11:35:06 |
00:11:49:00 |
The money wasted on such projects ... |
||
00:11:50:06 |
00:12:05:08 |
I am 33 years old and in the city
where I live |
||
00:12:05:08 |
00:12:15:09 |
Everytime someone new gets
in charge, he wants to prove himself |
||
00:12:16:15 |
00:12:19:19 |
But the needs of
the population lie with the basic needs. |
||
00:12:20:02 |
00:12:23:23 |
One of their
requirements is a well-equipped hospital |
||
00:12:24:14 |
00:12:29:19 |
These undercover
images show you what a typical hospital in the Rif |
||
00:12:32:09 |
00:12:44:11 |
At the very beginning, we asked for a
cancer hospital |
||
00:12:44:11 |
00:12:45:04 |
- How come? |
||
00:12:45:04 |
00:12:50:01 |
The Spaniards used to attack us with
mustard gas. |
||
00:12:50:01 |
00:12:56:13 |
Those gases are still in the ground
and in the water. |
||
00:12:56:13 |
00:13:01:00 |
So people in the Rif get sick from
that horrible disease. |
||
00:13:01:00 |
00:13:06:13 |
But we don't have hospitals. |
||
00:13:06:14 |
00:13:10:20 |
The government has then provided a
hospital without a lift, |
||
00:13:10:20 |
00:13:13:10 |
They just put it there and put the
money in their pockets. |
||
00:13:13:20 |
00:13:17:00 |
Thousands of people go there and
there is only one doctor. |
||
00:13:17:04 |
00:13:19:14 |
When a poor guy enters the hospital |
||
00:13:19:14 |
00:13:26:20 |
they'll tell him: Go find medication,
go find a needle, |
||
00:13:26:20 |
00:13:30:01 |
A poor man who has nothing and who is
suffering |
||
00:13:34:01 |
00:13:38:23 |
While we make
footage of the hospital inside, |
||
00:13:43:06 |
00:13:48:12 |
Today a boy drowned off the coast of
Al Hoceima. |
||
00:13:48:20 |
00:13:51:03 |
He was only thirteen years old. |
||
00:13:51:05 |
00:13:52:24 |
He's washed up. |
||
00:13:56:07 |
00:13:57:24 |
Bitter reality, huh. |
||
00:13:58:05 |
00:14:01:00 |
And a lot of them are leaving this
summer. |
||
00:14:02:19 |
00:14:07:09 |
He talks about the
many families who do not want to stay here |
||
00:14:07:18 |
00:14:10:22 |
But even those who
stay and have a job |
||
00:14:10:23 |
00:14:12:10 |

Have you just returned? |
|
00:14:12:10 |
00:14:15:00 |
- Yes, but unfortunately nothing. |
||
00:14:15:00 |
00:14:16:01 |
Caught nothing? |
||
00:14:16:01 |
00:14:18:11 |
What can I catch with my small boat? |
||
00:14:18:19 |
00:14:21:18 |
I've been doing this for 55 years |
||
00:14:21:18 |
00:14:23:15 |
and it's getting nowhere. |
||
00:14:25:02 |
00:14:28:21 |
A license for a
fishing boat is very expensive. |
||
00:14:29:05 |
14:33:19 |
It used to cost a lot less. A few
hundred by boat. |
||
14:33:19 |
14:38:11 |
But now there are so many fishermen
so it has risen to 20,000. |
||
14:38:11 |
14:40:18 |
Twenty thousand euros? |
||
14:40:18 |
14:43:09 |
Just for the license of the boat? |
||
14:43:09 |
14:44:12 |
I swear, really. |
||
14:44:20 |
14:53:07 |
Now it is really priceless. You're
broke by just paying the license. |
||
14:54:00 |
14:59:03 |
Another harsh
reality. |
||
15:00:11 |
15:04:23 |
About two months ago a boat left. |
||
15:04:23 |
15:09:10 |
Someone with all his children. To
Spain. |
||
15:09:10 |
15:13:08 |
His wife was pregnant. She gave birth
in Spain. |
||
15:13:12 |
15:16:19 |
So all those people and a pregnant
woman? |
||
15:16:19 |
15:19:20 |
No, it was even a smaller boat. Like
the one there. |
||
15:19:22 |
15:23:22 |
A lot of people leave from here. |
||
15:27:12 |
15:30:13 |
Many Riffians dream
of a new life in Europe. |
||
15:30:19 |
15:35:10 |
We're heading to
Melilla, a Spanish enclave |
||
15:37:05 |
15:38:09 |
Look! Look! |
||
15:38:09 |
15:39:09 |
Look at that truck! |
||
15:39:09 |
15:40:09 |
Yes, here. |
||
16:00:21 |
16:03:14 |
Look, they climb on it in order to
cross the border. |
||
16:07:00 |
16:08:22 |
What is the probability that they
will be stopped? |
||
16:08:22 |
16:11:20 |
Very big of course. |
||
16:11:20 |
16:14:14 |
Then they are beaten by the border
police. |
||
16:15:17 |
16:17:13 |
Tell me if I have to put my cell
phone away. |
||
16:21:06 |
16:22:15 |
How crazy is this? |
||
16:22:15 |
16:24:20 |
This is just everyday reality. |
||
16:24:20 |
16:27:09 |
Every day, 24/7. |
||
16:29:20 |
16:31:11 |
The man is not aware of anything. |
||
16:32:00 |
16:33:09 |
Look, this is where he goes in. |
||
16:37:04 |
16:40:01 |
And then they're in. |
||
16:40:01 |
16:42:06 |
Do they also check in those trucks? |
||
16:42:06 |
16:45:12 |
Not really here, but later on. |
||
16:48:14 |
16:49:17 |
Keep filming. |
||
16:54:22 |
07:46:00 |
Look, here's the control. |
||
17:07:14 |
17:09:01 |
He noticed us! |
||
17:09:01 |
17:10:03 |
We got caught. |
||
17:10:09 |
17:12:17 |
We decide to cross
the border by foot. |
||
17:14:22 |
17:16:19 |
The contrast with
Morocco is great. |
||
17:16:24 |
17:20:03 |
For a moment we can
leave the tension behind us. |
||
17:22:00 |
17:27:07 |
Melilla is a sunny
seaside resort for tourists. |
||
17:30:03 |
17:35:14 |
How far has the
situation escalated |
||
17:35:14 |
17:37:24 |
I try to
understand. |
||
17:41:01 |
17:45:15 |
Youssef, a young 20
year old who is about to make the crossing, |
||
17:48:22 |
17:56:18 |
Anonymous, Youssef
is fake name |
Here in Al Hoceima
we look up to who succeeds in doing things. |
|
17:56:18 |
18:07:16 |
Most of them become hairdressers and
go abroad |
||
18:07:16 |
18:12:13 |
From then on they start thinking
about a childhood dream. |
||
18:15:16 |
18:29:17 |
As for my parents, I had wanted to
tell them for a long time |
||
18:29:17 |
18:32:20 |
Most of my family already lives
abroad. |
||
18:36:16 |
18:39:09 |
I have a 15 year old friend. |
||
18:39:09 |
18:41:01 |
He quit school. |
||
18:41:01 |
18:46:22 |
He wants to make the crossing to
Spain while he is still young. |
||
18:46:22 |
18:51:07 |
He can become a soccer player. |
||
18:54:00 |
Almost all of my peers have left Al Hoceima. |
|||
19:03:01 |
19:06:01 |
Some of them didn't survive. |
||
19:06:01 |
19:10:05 |
Others were arrested. |
||
19:11:17 |
19:14:02 |
In the evening we
buy roasted sunflower seeds. |
||
19:14:13 |
19:16:04 |
De salesman is very
young. |
||
19:16:14 |
19:19:20 |
We notice that the
package consists of a mathematics course. |
||
19:22:19 |
19:28:21 |
Hassan - Teacher |
All they think about is going to
Europe |
|
19:29:03 |
19:31:02 |
They risk their lives. |
||
19:31:14 |
19:34:21 |
These young people have come to the
point |
||
19:34:23 |
19:36:23 |
They say they cannot achieve anything
with their studies. |
||
19:37:12 |
19:40:17 |
They will not get a high position
anyway. |
||
19:40:17 |
19:43:17 |
There are many people with diplomas
who just sit at home. |
||
19:44:10 |
19:47:01 |
Hassan is a teacher
and used to work in the Netherlands for a while. |
||
19:47:16 |
19:49:23 |
With his experience
he wants to educate the young people. |
||
19:49:23 |
19:53:01 |
The government
doesn't support him in any way. |
||
19:54:07 |
19:55:24 |
You will not receive material for
activities. |
||
19:55:24 |
19:58:24 |
There are no sports grounds where I
can work with them. |
||
19:58:24 |
20:02:24 |
If you want to organize an outing, |
||
20:02:24 |
20:04:24 |
You are forced to give up. |
||
20:04:24 |
20:06:24 |
There is no support. |
||
20:06:24 |
20:11:00 |
You have to pay for everything out of
your own pocket |
||
20:11:18 |
20:15:07 |
You even have to buy a pen yourself. |
||
20:16:03 |
20:20:20 |
The longer we are
here, |
||
20:20:23 |
20:23:09 |
Like the
population, we feel powerless. |
||
20:23:20 |
20:25:18 |
Those who speak up,
are arrested. |
||
20:25:22 |
20:27:16 |
Those who stay have
no future. |
||
20:27:22 |
20:29:20 |
Whoever leaves,
neither. |
||
20:30:13 |
20:32:20 |
Illegal emigration. |
||
20:33:14 |
20:37:11 |
Some succeed, others drown in the
sea. |
||
20:37:23 |
20:41:18 |
Those who succeed, get into trouble
when they arrive. |
||
20:41:18 |
20:49:12 |
They have no residence documents |
||
20:49:20 |
21:01:05 |
Those who consider leaving to Europe,
think: I prefer sleeping on the street over staying in Morocco under these
conditions. |
||
21:01:05 |
21:03:19 |
You see, we own nothing at all. |
||
21:03:19 |
21:08:00 |
If they'd only invest in our country
and create employment, |
||
21:09:02 |
21:17:18 |
Sometimes you want to leave, |
||
21:17:18 |
21:20:12 |
It's very complicated. |
||
21:20:13 |
21:31:13 |
As a hard-working independent man, I
can barely support my family. |
||
21:31:13 |
21:38:01 |
There must be a solution that
addresses the roots of the problem. |
||
21:38:03 |
21:43:04 |
But to all emigrate illegally ... |
||
21:43:04 |
21:47:04 |
Will Europe receive 30 million
Moroccans? |
||
21:47:04 |
21:53:03 |
It's a tricky situation. |
||
21:53:03 |
21:57:20 |
Nasser, the
frontman of the band Agraf, |
||
21:57:20 |
22:00:11 |
He sees music as a
means of protest. |
||
22:07:19 |
22:15:01 |
Nasser El Ouazizi - frontman band Agraf |
In the Rif, music is a means of
conveying history. |
|
22:15:01 |
22:29:22 |
People don't read books here because
there aren't any. |
||
22:20:24 |
22:26:23 |
They deliberately keep us illiterate. |
||
22:27:19 |
22:33:10 |
I decided to sing about it, |
||
22:33:10 |
22:38:17 |
I knew I wouldn't get any more calls |
||
22:39:00 |
22:42:01 |
Everything belongs to the state or is
connected to the state. |
||
22:42:02 |
22:46:06 |
The economy of Al Hoceima
is long gone. |
||
22:46:06 |
22:50:16 |
Everyone must now figure out for
themselves how to survive. |
||
22:50:22 |
22:52:18 |
What can you do? |
||
22:52:18 |
22:55:23 |
It's a waste of life. |
||
22:56:00 |
23:03:05 |
There's no education, no employment. |
||
23:10:09 |
23:13:01 |
The Rif is a rich area. |
||
23:13:01 |
23:20:02 |
We have a sea, but now the harbor is even closed. |
||
23:20:09 |
23:22:14 |
The government wants us to leave. |
||
23:22:14 |
23:24:10 |
They bully us by isolating us. |
||
23:26:14 |
23:29:23 |
The Riffians now
mainly count on support |
||
23:39:23 |
23:31:23 |
who visit the area
during the summer. |
||
23:35:08 |
23:43:07 |
When the European Moroccans are in Al Hoceima, |
||
23:44:04 |
23:46:16 |
As if it's party time. |
||
23:46:16 |
23:51:10 |
People are working, they have things to do. |
||
23:52:07 |
24:02:09 |
But from the moment they all return to Europe ... |
||
24:02:09 |
24:04:08 |
people are like leaves from a tree. |
||
24:04:08 |
24:09:19 |
Leaves falling from a tree. |
||
24:09:19 |
24:12:17 |
From the moment they're gone, everything closes. |
||
24:13:20 |
24:19:08 |
As long as the corruption of
the Moroccan government remains unchanged, |
||
24:19:08 |
24:21:19 |
the Riffians have nowhere to
go. |
||
24:21:19 |
24:24:12 |
The situation is hopeless. |
||
24:25:08 |
24:26:23 |
We are now one year later. |
||
24:27:05 |
24:31:20 |
Nasser Zefzafi
and other political prisoners |
||
24:31:24 |
24:37:01 |
For them there is only one way
out: |
||
24:37:21 |
20:41:00 |
Two members of the band Agraf fled to Spain. |
||
24:41:00 |
24:44:00 |
But frontman Nasser keeps using
his music as a way to protest. |
||
Music lyrics |
||||
24:44:17 |
24:47:13 |
Who stands up for his rights |
||
24:47:13 |
24:50:04 |
is sentenced in prison for 20 years |
||
24:50:04 |
24:52:24 |
together with is companions. |
||
24:54:01 |
24:56:19 |
He left his mom behind in tears |
||
24:56:19 |
24:59:08 |
wondering what he had done wrong. |
||
24:59:08 |
25:01:21 |
He only wanted to be happy. |
||
25:02:08 |
25:06:00 |
Mohammed continues to fight for
the rights of the Riffians. |
||
25:06:00 |
25:09:22 |
Long live the Rif! |
||
25:10:08 |
25:15:08 |
Just because I'm in Europe doesn't make me
abandon you, |
||
25:15:08 |
25:19:08 |
forget the Rif or forget about you. |
||
25:20:05 |
25:22:06 |
Until my last breath |
||
25:22:06 |
25:24:12 |
tot ze ons geven
wat we vragen. |
