What happens with women in Moroccan prisons? The walls of concrete and silence are hiding a taboo, which is difficult to remove. The director Mohamed Nabil did everything to tell the story of Moroccan women's prison. After many difficulties and two years of waiting for a filming permit by the Moroccan authorities, he and his team were finally able to enter this secret world.
This 65 minutes documentary film is very inspiring and moving. The protagonists are not only defined by their crimes, but by their stories and the truth seen through their eyes. In order to reduce the unspeakable in Silent Cells, the director has also made interviews with former female prisoners. The film raises provocative questions about the prison system and society in Morocco and offers remarkable pictures of inmates and prison staff.
