“Poupées de roseau is not exclusively a film about women; it is also an indictment of those who experience humiliation. My decision to direct this film, with a screenplay by Farida Benlyazid, is due to the beauty, strength, and coherence of the subject. Nothing is artificial or invented; it is a true story, a story that never fails to arouse indignation. I have never been so concerned, and I would have liked to say much more about what a human being endures, prey to the age-old institutions of customs and traditions, which make man strong and sure of his rights. But I consider that my images are not the culmination of my words and those of Farida, because we are still reflecting on them, and many others with us…” – Jillali Ferhati.

A big thank you to my dear friend lumumbista for all his efforts in finding and preserving this film. An extremely rare Moroccan film, digitized from an airing on Channel 4 in the UK back in the ’90s. While I haven’t seen this film yet I noticed while skimming through that not all lines of dialogue have been subtitled but I’m sure all the important parts have been translated and that we’re not miss anything important without those lines.
