About Kamal Hachkar
Born in 1977 in Tinghir, Morocco, into a Berber family. At the age of only six months, he left Morocco with his mother for France, where his father had been working as a labourer since 1968. However, he made regular visits to Tinghir during the summer holidays. Kamal obtained a master's degree in medieval history of the Muslim worlds at the Sorbonne University and has been teaching since 2005.
In 2013 Kamal Hachkar made his first documentary, Tinghir-Jerusalem: Les Échos du mellah. The film, set during the French protectorate in Morocco, is about the life and coexistence of Muslim and Jewish Berber families in Tinghir during desperate times.
