Developed Projects
Every year, a circular migration program signed between Spain and Morocco sees the arrival of thousands of legal seasonal workers on Iberian soil. Saloua Amrani, a 43-year-old Moroccan widow, spends four months a year, far from her 5 children, 2 of whom are young, harvesting strawberries in Andalusia to meet the needs of her family. Bitter Strawberries offers an intimate vision of the female experience of seasonal work.
