Pirates of Salé
Pirates of Salé
Director
Pirates of Sale is a character-based observational documentary which opens up the magical world of Morocco's first professional circus through the compelling stories of four young performers. We follow their tough journey of transformation as they learn to live independently, challenge conventions, and embrace a totally alien concept: creative freedom. This is a film about being young in a place with few opportunities and daring to dream.
