Synopsis:

In “Dance of Outlaws,” Mohamed El Aboudi’s accomplished docu, a young woman’s double stigma — raped and deprived by her shamed family of her identity card — reveals the catch-22 trapping many impoverished Moroccan girls. Hind lives on the edge of legality (respectability isn’t an option), hoping to get the necessary documents from her estranged family to allow her to take advantage of her rights. The helmer’s camera inadvertently helps and hinders her quest, turning the docu into a commentary on the unavoidable disruption caused by even the smallest camera crew.
