MES Spring Film Series Screening: Horses of God

Fractal Realities screening: Hamid and Yachine spend most of their days smoking pot in Casablanca’s biggest slum. After a stint in prison Hamid returns home a changed man: he is now a religious fundamentalist, and believes his younger brother has been chosen to become a martyr. The two must embark on a transformative journey. From filmmaker Nabil Ayouch comes a dramatic and dark mise-en-scène of a dispossessed youth in an economically fractured society. Horses of God is an invitation to reflect on personal agency, interpersonal violence, and systemic marginalization. Running time: 1 hour 55 minutes.
