IMPERIAL SENTRIES, MARRAKECH

A great king needs a great city

Synopsis

In the 14th century, the historian Ibn Khaldun said that "a great king needs a great city".

Marrakech is one of those so-called imperial cities built by sovereigns anxious to establish their power from Catalonia to Mauritania. Indeed, the country's influence extended far beyond its current borders for centuries.

This film dives into this glorious past to meet those who still protect and embody the jewels of Moroccan heritage today.
