Horses of God

The NAU International Film Series "Heroes, Villains, & Ordinary Folks" presents Horses of God. (Original Title: Yakheel Allah / Les chevaux de Dieu,) (Morocco,  2013) Nabil Ayouch, dir. Color, 115 min.

One of North Africa’s most important directors delivers a heart-breaking but never maudlin story about fanaticism and youth on the outskirts of Casablanca.  Based on an actual terrorist attack in 2003, this is a portrait of poverty, repression and the zealotry it breeds.

Instructor-led open discussion will follow the screening.
