From Casablanca to Washington DC, Berlin to Cadiz, from Montreal, and San Diego, to Amsterdam and Murcia, not forgetting the very Rabat, projected simultaneously, the next day on February 20, the documentary "My Makhzen and I" , directed by Nadir Bouhmouch.
The event takes place coinciding with the first anniversary of the Movement Moroccan February 20, the date on which thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in major cities demanding a new constitution and shouting slogans such as "Less power to the monarchy" or "The king should reign but not govern."
It was last summer when Nadir Bouhmouch, Moroccan film student, returned home from the University of San Diego and decided to document the riots that had spread to his country from Tunisia and Egypt.
The film investigates the origin of the riots and the situation in which his countrymen are calling for freedom, democracy and human rights, collecting evidence from different protagonists of the movement and use of social networks to promote the protests.
The result has been a 40 minute documentary to be screened on Monday 20 February at 19 am in the auditorium of the building Rector Sabater, Ronda de Levante, in a ceremony organized by ACSUR Murcia, Studies Political Science and Administration, University of Murcia and the Moroccan Human Rights Association in Madrid, and has the support of CSA's Tabacalera.
