Boujad: A Nest in the Heat

Boujad: A Nest in the Heat (1992) is a documentary film directed by Hakim Belabbes rated 6.8/10.

As director Hakim Belabbes chronicles his journey from his home in Chicago to visit his family in his hometown of Boujad in Morocco, his exploration of family relationships is self-conscious and at times painfully honest. We witness his most private moments with his family. The film intimately explores the domestic spaces and religious rituals of intra-family relationships, especially when compounded by one member's break with traditional values.
