Malika agrees to make just one drug run to save her family home
and make a demo tape for her punk rock band. When she is teamed
with a veteran woman drug mule, she must decide what her deepest
values are. A feminist thriller without a gun.
86 mins, in Arabic and French, with English subtitles.
"A slick and spiky drama that presents an alternate view of life
for young people in Morocco, the impressively mounted Traitors,
the debut film from American filmmaker Sean Gullette, is driven
by a charismatic performance from newcomer Chaimae Ben Acha,
a real talent to watch... a divine union of Eastern moods and
sensibilities with punk rock vibes and aesthetics . . . With a fast-paced
storyline, a Moroccan Setting, a cast of alluring and unpredictable
characters. . . and a throbbing, original soundtrack, Traitors is a
veritable feast for the senses." — REORIENT MAGAZINE
