| Summary |
"Morocco is coming to terms with the human rights abuses of its recent past. Televised testimonies to a truth and reconciliation commission set up by the government have transfixed the nation, unveiling the atrocities committed under King Hassan's 38 year rule. Through the personal testimonies of those who suffered both wrongful imprisonment and torture in the 1970s and 80s, we discover the prominent role women had in resisting repressive rule during the "Iron Fist" era. Women on the Frontline, tells the astonishing stories of two of these women - Fatna El Bouih and Khadija Rouissi - who put their lives on the line to fight for truth, justice and independence, and who survived to pass on their message of hope and endurance to a new generation." -- DevTV website |
