About This Movie
HARRAGA – Those Who Burn Their Lives offers a raw glimpse into the lives of young Moroccan boys seeking a better future from their makeshift home beneath a lighthouse. The documentary adopts an intimate, almost voyeuristic approach, painting a vivid picture of their daily struggles and fleeting moments of hope. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to sit with the boys' anxieties and dreams. Their interactions — from drug use to heartfelt video calls with their mothers — create an emotional depth that feels real and immediate. What stands out is how they document their lives for an online audience, blurring the line between despair and the quest for meaning. It's a gritty portrayal that doesn’t shy away from hard truths, capturing the essence of youth caught between two worlds.
