Morocco’s King Mohammed VI: Two Decades of Reform and Solitude

"Mohammed VI, the solitary king of Morocco" is a documentary that portrays the king of Morocco, the heir prince of Hassan II, who prepared his whole life to lead the kingdom of Morocco after the death of his father. Mohammed VI, who succeeded the latter in 1999, is considered by many Moroccans as a glimmer of hope. From the early years of his reign, he managed to make changes to the Family Code, giving more rights to women, and launched many projects to build modern infrastructure.

The Moroccan monarch has also revised the Constitution of the kingdom, in the midst of the Arab Spring in 2011. But all these reforms have never been deeply democratic, the documentary points out, highlighting the contrast between the tourism potential of the kingdom and the growing impoverishment of the population and a steadily rising unemployment rate.

The documentary also tries to provide answers to important questions about Mohammed VI’s reign, particularly on how he sees the future of the kingdom, the progress made under his reign, his dynamic as a reformer and his ability to manage with almost all powers concentrated in his hands.
