Out of Bounds Productions, is a student run film production company dedicated to telling stories that defy convention and challenge societal norms. Our mission is to step beyond the expected—exploring narratives that are often overlooked, rejected, or deemed as insignificant. By embracing stories that are outside of the standard, we aim to create bold, thought-provoking content that exists unapologetically out of bounds.
In October, our crew of 19, will travel to Morocco for two weeks to film a documentary. The goal is to not only deepen our understanding of indigeneity in the Moroccan and global context, but all who watch it too. Specifically, we will travel to the town of Talinin Commune Tamaloukt in the Atlas Mountains to capture the story of an indigenous community forced to leave their homes in search of a vital necessity: water.
The Amazigh people are the indigenous inhabitants of North Africa united in a shared language fighting for their identity in post-colonial Morocco. Currently, the residents of Talinin Commune Tamaloukt must walk 4 km a day to get water from a well that is sometimes dry, often broken, and always unsafe to drink. With increasing amounts of residents leaving the town, the community’s ability to freely practice Amazigh culture and traditions is in jeopardy.
