Directed by Shara K. Lange.

Background:

Director Shara Lange returned to Marseille in June 2005 (where she studied French in 2003 and fell in love with the city) to make a documentary about North African immigrants. She met Fatima while documenting the city and built a documentary about her, the women she works with, and her non-profit organization, Femmes D'Ici et D'Ailleurs.

The film was shot in Marseille and Morocco between May 2005 and January 2007. Post-production took place in Austin, Texas and the film was finished in August 2007.
