Laila Marrakchi’s Cannes return lifts veil on abuse faced by Moroccan workers in Spain

Moroccan director Laila Marrakchi is back at Cannes with *La Mas Dulce*, a film inspired by real stories of Moroccan women facing exploitation and harassment in Spain’s strawberry fields. One woman dared to speak out-a #MeToo moment in the fields. Marrakchi made sure to show their dignity, giving voice to Arab, Muslim women who refuse to be invisible. https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/film-tv/2026/05/21/laila-marrakchis-cannes-return-lifts-veil-on-abuse-faced-by-moroccan-workers-in-spain/

This film needed to be made. So many women suffer in silence, it's time their voices are heard.
