The Moroccan-Spanish border
Twenty-six short essay films result from a three-month participatory filmmaking workshop in Ceuta (October-December 2022) with 13 Moroccan cross-border women. They work irregularly in the domestic service and represent 800 women in the same situation. Their films address personal testimonies to the
difficulties they experience in regularising their
situation after years, and even decades, of low-paid labour and a poignant lack
of legal rights, access to public health care or education. The workshop was
hosted by the local NGO Digmun, the Association for
the Dignity of Women and Children of Ceuta, which offers language literacy and
legal support. All films are compiled into the webdoc “ABCeuta: the Alphabet of the Border”.
