About the film

Hind does not exist officially. As a consequence of being raped, she lost her official identity as a member of Moroccan society. Now she is left with two options: to work as a prostitute or as a traditional wedding dancer – and she has to do both to survive. But even if she has all odds against her, she refuses to give up the fight for a reasonably human life, as a woman and as a mother for her child. And Hind is far from being the only female “outlaw” in Morocco. Daughters of prostitutes, abandoned child brides and others that have turned their backs on the patriarchal society are now living under the constant threat of being subjected to violence or even being killed. Dance of Outlaws is a harsh and dramatic film about the injustices that are so obvious that you hardly believe your own eyes – until you are thrown into the heat of battle, where even friends and family send suspicious and angry looks at the camera, which is there all the way.
