Film Information

Reviews

“The delicate mix of handmade replicas and oral testimony brilliantly evokes the personal and collective trauma that stem from Morocco’s ‘Years of Lead’ — a period of state brutality under Hassan II’s dictatorial rule.”

Phuong Le
Guardian

“A staggering work of documentary filmmaking, Asmae El Moudir recreates her personal history and a tragic chapter in Morocco’s history with her family as witness.”

Drew Gregory
Autostraddle

“THE MOTHER OF ALL LIES is an astonishing work whose maturity comes from El Moudir’s wide-eyed approach to her family history, where memory and history are quite literally reduced to playthings in order to process the unspeakable events they conjure up.”
