The migration of villagers towards urban centers is a major global problem.There is no imminent panacea for this universal malaise.A miracle of sorts is taking place in communist nation China where a tangible solution has been found.Chinese villagers have been given special identity cards which stipulate that they have to stay in their respective villages.It is in this not so politically correct manner that Chinese government is banning the entry of its own villagers into major developed cities.This is a very specific case but there are no so many countries which can think of introducing such drastic measures to curb the entry of poor villagers into big cities.Morocco is one such African country which is facing severe problems related to rural/urban divide.It is in this specific context that one must watch Mohammad Asli's director debut "In Casablanca,Angels don't fly".It is a film which tells us that underdogs don't always win.They are destined to a life of misery as nobody cares about them.In this film,Berber women and children have been shown as biggest victims of migration.They are left to fend for themselves when they are left by men.Mohammad Asli has made his film effective as he has deftly portrayed harsh weather conditions for causing untold miseries on common people.According to Mohammad Asli his film speaks about enormous difficulty to live in Morocco where even most simplest of dreams are difficult to accomplish. The broken dreams of naive young men appear as true as most of the cast is made up of young non professional actors.
