The Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture (IRCAM) hosted this Friday, December 12, 2014, the screening of the documentary film directed by Tarik El Idrissi, "Rif 58-59, breaking the silence," which describes the suffering of the people of the Rif provinces during the years 1958-1959.

This documentary, produced with the support of the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad (CCME) and several other institutions including the National Council for Human Rights CNDH, aims to convey the magnitude of the suffering incurred during the 1950's.

The synopsis of the film was largely based on a series of painful live testimonies and the views of researchers on the details of what actually happened in the Rif in that period.

Tarik El Idrissi had already directed in 2012 the film "the road turns", which chronicles the Spanish occupation of the Moroccan Rif in the 1920s.
