Les Damnés de la MerJawad Rhalib

Thousands of struggling moroccan fishermen have to move further and further south to keep hope in catching some fish, any fish, if any fish left to catch. In the background, but quite close from the shores where they end up staying idle, huge foreign trawlers drag the waters with their death nets, killing an entire ecosystem, and sometimes literally « vacuuming » it. The government sold them fishing licenses allowing them to do so. Standing foreground, these fishermen, desperated, witness their own inevitable disappearance, while the revolt of their pairs, few month earlier, has been violently repressed by the authorities.
