Mission Teens: French School in Morocco2019

The film Mission Teens: French School in Morocco gathers a group of students from the Lycée Descartes, the French high school in Rabat. Inspired by teen movies, and reality television, this fictional documentary follows them in their everyday life, as they go from the classroom to home, to parties, collecting their testimonies on an education system inherited from the French presence in Morocco, nowadays reserved to the local elite. Through the questioning, reflections, and aspirations of the students, the artist, or rather the donkey—her animated avatar behind the camera—investigates the issue of forming one’s identity between two cultures and two ages.
