Abstract
Abstract This article gives an overview of postcolonial cinema in the Maghreb while focusing on the two Maghrebi filmmakers, Meryem Benm’Barek-Alosï and Maryam Touzani, whose films take a more daring stance on the problem of filles-mères (unmarried mothers) and childbearing out of wedlock in the Moroccan society. This article examines the development of Moudawana (family law) in Morocco, its effects on women's lives, and the concept of shame in Maghrebi culture through a detailed analysis of Sofia (2018) and Adam (2019).
期刊介绍：
An established journal of reference inviting all critical approaches on the latest debates and issues in the field, Contemporary French & Francophone Studies (formerly known as SITES) provides a forum not only for academics, but for novelists, poets, artists, journalists, and filmmakers as well. In addition to its focus on French and Francophone studies, one of the journal"s primary objectives is to reflect the interdisciplinary direction taken by the field and by the humanities and the arts in general. CF&FS is published five times per year, with four issues devoted to particular themes, and a fifth issue, “The Open Issue” welcoming non-thematic contributions.
