Sélection Annuelle 2024

Off the coast of Morocco, a handful of activists are preparing their next mission: in three days’ time, their cargo ship will dock at the port of Tangiers to take on board women seeking safe abortions in international waters. Among these activists is Amal, who left Morocco as a child. While she thinks she’ll be able to handle this mission like any other, everything changes when she receives a call from Malika, whose personal story resonates strongly with her own.
