Synopsis by Nathan Southern

The nation of Morocco witnessed some of its most fundamental (and profound) sociocultural shifts following the date of January 25, 2004. On that historic day, the nation implemented much-publicized Family Law Reforms, which granted Moroccan women marriage and divorce rights (and social equality) long inconceivable to the country's citizens. With her documentary I Have Something to Tell You, filmmaker Dalila Ennadre plunges into the core of Moroccan society at this pivotal juncture of social change, and provides biographical portraits of several women grappling with the implications of these new laws as they look ahead to an uncertain future. Throughout, Ennadre consistently reminds her audience that although one of the key legal sanctions is in place, the real fight for social equality has just begun.
