‘Changing Worlds in the Atlas Mountains’
Kuba Nowak's moving cinematography is best enjoyed on the big screen, but in these peculiar times when we can't get to cinemas or film festivals, we'd love you to watch our 20-minute film at home. Instead of video-on-demand charges, a small donation to this incredible charity, which our short film is about, would be wonderful: it costs £3.33 a day to support one Education For All student in Morocco. Even if you make a donation as small as £5 through PayPal, you will be helping greatly.
Filmed and edited by Kuba Nowak

Our short documentary filmed in Morocco, primarily at the Education for All boarding houses in Asni and on location in Atlas villages and Marrakech. It’s a universal story of hope, love and support as showcased by an inspiring NGO in rural Morocco which helps teenage girls access education.
Thanks to the work of British- and Moroccan-registered charity Education for All founded by Mike McHugo MBE of Kasbah du Toubkal eco lodge, over the last 10 years scores of girls who otherwise wouldn’t have continued their studies beyond the most basic of primary schooling, have been able to access a secondary education. Typically, girls who stay in the remote rural villages of the Atlas Mountains are obliged to marry as early as at the age of 13. By giving girls and young women this support it makes a dramatic difference to the wellbeing of our world — for all of us.
Length of film: Just over 20 minutes.
Languages: Interviews in English, Arabic, French, Berber, dialectical Arabic; English subtitles.
