Goodbye Mothers Series: The 15th Annual New York African Film Festival [April 9-April 15] Director: Mohamed Ismail, Country: Morocco, Release: 2007, Runtime: 110 Mohamed Ismail’s Goodbye Mothers is expected to spark controversy in Morocco. The film dares to depict the peaceful co-existence in 1960s Casablanca of two families––one Muslim and one Jewish––during the historical period known as the “Black Years of Emigration,” when Moroccan Jews faced a pervading sense of hesitation between two conflicting desires: remaining in Morocco or uprooting themselves to emigrate to Israel.
