Tabite or Not Tabite

2005 Moroccan film

Tabite or Not Tabite is a 2005 Moroccan drama film directed by Nabyl Lahlou.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The film was inspired by the trial of Mohamed Tabet.[7][8] Tabet's family filed a complaint to prohibit the preview of the film. Summoned to court in Rabat, the director successfully pleaded his case himself, arguing that it was his duty to make films about this period. The preview was ultimately held at the Mohamed V Theater in Rabat.[9][3]
