Conclusion

Abstract

Contemporary literature, film, and the press have been instrumental in aiding Moroccans to study socially, culturally, and politically the abuses of the past in order to transition toward a positive future. Authors, filmmakers, and journalists seek to expose the skeletons that lurk in the closets of the past. The documenting of life stories in their works has become essential in the country’s national project to contextualize the Lead Years in order to remember all those effaced in the annals of Moroccan history. Prose, poetry, and the media will continue to remind readers and audiences of the importance of remembering, so that the injustices of earlier periods will not be repeated. The New Morocco represents the hopes and dreams of authors, journalists, and filmmakers who contribute to the current dialogues, in multiple languages, occurring daily in the country. They have dedicated their works to representing Morocco’s past, present, and future for their fellow citizens. Moroccan literary and filmic production will continue to contribute to the social consciousness of the country as it progresses forward in the twenty-first century.
