A Deutsche Welle documentary from Morocco about a women's team taking part in the traditional Fantasia in which they ride on horseback and fire guns. More than 500 riders join in the traditional competition, which until now has been dominated by men. But Moroccan society is changing. Afrae Ben Bih is 25 years old. She lives near the Moroccan capital, Rabat. Her father taught her to ride when she was a child. It was back then she discovered her passion for the Fantasia. She set her heart on it and after lots of hard work and support from her parents, Afrae at 18 founded the first female equestrian unit and faced her critics. This documentary follows Afrae’s troupe as they prepare to take part in a Fantasia. Families, friends, team members, and men have a say, as the film takes viewers into a world of masculine ritual and carnival spirit.

I am half way through. A lovely story and the team leader’s parents seem very supportive. Particularly her father who obviously is rather progressive and proud to have his daughter follow in his footsteps.
