The Hidden Kingdom: Morocco's Wildlife Between Myth and Survival
In short: Explore the extreme landscapes of Morocco, where the Atlas Mountains meet the Sahara. This documentary follows two naturalists for a full year to capture the lives of some of the world's most mysterious and endangered species.
The film documents the resilience of Morocco's diverse fauna, specifically focusing on Barbary apes in the icy forests of Ifrane National Park and the various snakes and vipers of the desert. It highlights the contrast between these animals' natural habitats—ranging from snow-covered mountains to burning dunes—and their cultural significance, such as the snakes revered by charmers in Marrakesh’s Jemaa el-Fna Square.
By observing these creatures over a year, the documentary aims to show how they endure in some of the most extreme environments on Earth. It explores the intersection of nature, human legend, and the ongoing struggle for survival in a landscape that remains largely unseen by the public.
