Born in Al Hoceima, Mohamed El Badaoui is a Spain-based scriptwriter and movie director. His love for his region, the Rif, pushed him to make several movies about the rural world in Morocco and the problems and challenges facing it inhabitants.
Issues related to the delimitation of the Atlantic maritime borders between Morocco and Spain have pushed Canary Islands’ pro-independence groups to consider breaking away from Spain. These demands date back to the Franco era.
