Ouarzazate, Morocco, where Hollywood builds its glory on the backs of local workers. From Kundun and Asterix to Gladiator, passing through every historical epic and the thousand-and-one versions of the Bible, the city’s residents all work as extras in films they will likely never have the chance to watch. araBehind the shine of these massive productions stand those actors, with their hopes and disappointments, living witnesses to the stark contradiction between the power of commercial cinema and the economic misery it is built upon.
