Children of Al-Andalus | Rick Leeuwestein en Hicham Ghalbane

Through the narrow Strait of Gibraltar, Morocco and the Iberian Peninsula have traditionally been inextricably linked. Today, Morocco is one of the few countries that keeps the traditions of Al-Andalus alive. This history has a special place in the historical, cultural and spiritual heritage of the country. Located in the far West of the Islamic world, Morocco is known throughout the world as a unique country with its geographical, historical and cultural diversity.

Rick Leeuwestein and Hicham Ghalbane have captured the very finest stories in Morocco at various locations. Beautiful Moroccan Andalusian families have shared their personal stories, memories and history during meetings and touching conversations.

A film version of the novel 'Children of Al-Andalus' is expected in the summer of 2022. The recordings have just been completed- Co-production 'Marmoucha' -
