BEFORE THE DYING OF THE LIGHT
BEFORE THE DYING OF THE LIGHT- 2020. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “The seventies were the last Moroccan period in which struggles and dreams for change were a reality. Also known as “Years of Lead” due to the violent repression that came along, this was the most important artistic and cultural period which shaped the first generation of Moroccan post-colonial artists.
