leaders for. the good to poor redub or gunpowder game is one of the most popular festivals in morocco the equestrian competition is a reenactment of a 2000 year old war time technique used by the ferber warriors. the spectacular cavalry charge has been carried out exclusively by men. on till now today women are challenging traditional boundaries for taking part in the fantaisie of festivals going on about. the whole deal you know the kind of i feel very strong whenever i don't see in daily life i feel completely normal just like any other woman but as a woman participating in the fantasia aspired to do. we have

a women's team you just feel strong to clear. off of envy heads an all female writing troupe it's one of only 13 female teams in the country which has more than $5000.00 men's groups. the women are rehearsing for an upcoming fantasia on the head but they will be the only women's team among $46.00 at the event. her held. what the equestrians have to focus on in this sport is not just the interaction of the horses riders and their movements but the rifles to. offer his team is not get

properly synchronized some of the women are riding with the group for the 1st time . i know when i say sit you can do you ahead the who says have to be in line now i'm going to you just did it. look sit. then the rifle then the greeting. not our wants our writers to be especially well prepared for the upcoming fantasia and. the young women want to prove that they can perform the just as well as the men. coming. in now the biggest challenge is just being accepted. there are people who don't want women to participate and look on what question. they think that goes to stay at home and

take care of household chores instead of riding horses because that's a man's things that. you all make that that's not true any good ocean may have on the contrary the prophet even recommended driving he said teach your children he did not say teach the boys he said children both boys and girls as a film burnett. offer as mother to bend she have often accompanies her daughter to training sessions and competitions yeah. a lot. of. support from her family is very important for 25 year old off. and. i won't lie i'm at 1st i didn't like the sport at all in the past it wouldn't have been possible either and then women used to be frustrated he didn't have many

rights there were many things women weren't allowed to do they were supposed to be satisfied with having children and doing the housework and that was all they could do this has worked on the story. learn to write from her father dead meat and be. in morocco it's traditional to pass on the art of fantasia writing from generation to generation. operas father himself still writes in a troop. of them a lot of. the details there. afra went to fantasia's with me when she was a little child. she wanted to ride and so i put her on a horse and she rode 400 metres of them you can even and then she wanted to ride on her own bungling and she's been addicted to it ever since but. we had them a good deal of what she rode as a child yes and later she became

a troop leader. she found other women and then got a hold of a tent one day i told her that this hobby is not a good idea but she said it was a mine of old so what could i do i can't stop her anymore. meanwhile he's grown proud of his daughter's achievements. in the nowadays you often see women writing in a fantasia. was recently i got a call from an organizer in a small village he wanted effort to participate with a troop of the 1st visitors found it very strange to see women writing for one. and now that's changed over. in fact people are often more interested in watching when a woman's team is riding with the dog why don't you would. be. robots the moroccan capital. the bazaar in the old town is

a visible reflection of the country today a mixture of modern vibrancy and traditionalism. opera and her friend want to belong to a new generation of a mansa pated moroccan women. in. 2004 saw a fundamental boost to women's rights when the code of family laws the modahl one ah was reform. since then the country has been experiencing an era of social change . the new laws strengthened equality in marriage and liberated women from their husband's legal authority. in the same year a fantasia festival accepted the 1st all female team. sunnah and was stosh has been part of authorised team for more than 5 years and is one of her closest friends. unlike off

a 25 year old does not enjoy the support of her parents. no one in her family has ever own or written a horse. sana found her way to the sport not through family for dish. yes but thanks to offer. i'm now on my way from robots to city custom to meet africa. above a meeting up in order to prepare everything for the upcoming fantaisie. work on but i think it requires a lot of effort to keep travelling back in full control boy being told off by my family because of my hobby. and when i 1st started writing i kept it a secret and that's how. we're going to come out of history i would go to training up to spear but i tell my parents i had classes.

going to cut it was only once i feel confident and look cool so knew how to write that i told them about it's a close call because it was. it was really hard for them to accept. it. but they've started to get used to the idea is so it'll get better because they realise how much i love the fantasia i don't look at the house. after sun arrives and see the concept the place where our progress the to pay a visit to a local tailor. makes their traditional costumes for the upcoming fantaisie. of attempt to fail this is your outfit something very special to say i love that the pan shouldn't be too tight so i can get on the who's easily how long will it take them on top of the national. gallery really soon as.

he gives them he invests i have a lot of outfits a lot and exactly the same thing at the home this is what i plan to wear and 1st and. i have many other options and this committee for each fantasia i go to the tailor and have a new custom made them wonder people have never seen me when the numbers were in and out and then you both study the that's very important for me sort of when a nest or when. the costumes are called jalopy as long opulent robes with hoods that are traditionally worn in the magreb region of northern africa historically these garments were made for nobility. only later did the jalopy become popular clothing for the general public. and it took time for it to become acceptable attire for women as well. to move in a hurry and go in a rocking women have come a long way and reached levels that we wanted them to reach not american women can

now write who says in this traditional outfit this is truly a source of pride for our country. how do you. pray for us so a lot is coming once everything is ready yeah that's right he cried my. family run a farm a few kilometers outside of our box. it's also a place where she and her fellow writers can meet up without being disturbed. it's a welcome retreat for the new teen. pop pop founded her 1st troupe in 2012 called the new era horse women's association. it also served to bring together like minded women. i had been there a few years ago i found a team and trained young women from my town for fantasia kind of in one after

another the women got married the group became smaller and things changed it was really hard because most of the men would not allow they wives to ride anymore but they via facebook and instagram i found other women and built my current time when there's a fantasia coming up i call them and they say yes you. will soon find out whether i was new team is ready for the big shout in a few hours the women will be setting off for the fantaisie. for sana however the dream could be over she's had a cold for a few days now and feels weak and tired and. if i can't be in the show at least i could be your notice if any of you need vandal she has a lot of well flat was even there after i heard no one falls off. benching says. c will son not be able

to ride. the more women who take part the more impressive their performance. and that's. those we have a lot of things to do today. everyone is responsible for one time. the horses need to be fed and washed. out because the tent. and sought are already knew when they met 3 years ago. they both grew up with a passion for horses and the fantaisie of sport. but neither of them can afford to own a horse a berber breeds that are used in the fantaisie do not come cheap in morocco. and

said you know the os isn't my life i just feel good in that company like a child that its relationship with its mother i didn't know. at once but it was gone for me and. there are many problems in situations in life that make me straight in my case without me but as soon as i see who else will touch when i come down quickly. it gets it's no longer feel strange still think that things it's a race. has a chance. forces have served humans for more than 4000 years and are one of the oldest breeds of the animal. these horses have always been closely linked to the berber tribes who bred them. during the middle ages and the renaissance they were used as war horses. but.

in the mean time more members of the team have arrived at the farm. and they're ready for the true. to the fantaisie. of the annex a lot of people don't want us to participate they try to stop us and for them a woman is not supposed to be in a writing arena. as a society is changing but since we started writing it hasn't changed enough nice has just now there are always people who criticize us some women have given female riding a bad reputation for their actions so our we would like to change that specially since we're human nature we want to make a good impression you are so that society accepts is how humans rajan becomes a man. not the moon the idea of just.

goes to a lot of trouble for her hobby. and it's only with the help of her parents and her job in the family's construction company that she can afford to finance the sport for herself and other women. i know look at that who'll say he's happy. but look at how they even think he feels just like we do. but i look it is. after an hour's drive the women arrive at the festival grounds in mid june up close to casa blanca. and. ask her.

if. the preparations for the equestrian extravaganza are in full swing. less than 24 hours from now the women will be saddled up and ready to ride. never seen a hi how are you was your journey ok not over there when you can go into the tent. as usual and have to move. as you think isn't that same if you still have your shoes on bring the settle into the tent but you can put it in the kitchen enough. we're not going to list can how. does everyone know which gun is this it's

important. to for anybody got a pen then we can write the names on it and then this one is definitely your. question and what should i write. out 7 how much are they to me. ok. most of the corner was child care for her like the other team captains i have a lot of work to do when the party said i need to make sure everything is set up from the mrs to the guns and outfits then diction to him and the crew bessie and the ma can we should the other women just have to come to my place get to the 1st of all and everything is basically ready said dick. you. can feel me. as a woman you have to work hard to get recognition and couldn't you have to be strong on my patients and i'm courageously not a sound lot and i don't let what people say out of me. in the.

image you know this is the 1st year a women's team is competing. in our league has been organizing this fantasia for many years now ensures that the event goes smoothly. and the best and most. penis what i know pretty maybe it's huge i myself have 2 daughters and i ride with them. and me to come a time when they're between 6 and 10 years old they were already riding tasiast with most of the sneak shots at ourselves and once we were even invited to france. observed many leaders teach their daughters to ride their new machine and the leisure bill it that they do it because they love their daughters episode but he didn't have one but it's now the time for pima groups to join us. i know there are $35000.00 men and only $700.00 women in the sport where they have a ladder this year it's much harder for women they need the support of

a father or brother but most. only then can they make it how to look before. then they'll have the if this support is missing it's still very difficult for women today the men who could really get on the bum put him on the scene to see if he's. before the event begins to call the team leaders meet to set the rules for the various run but. this is not new for us but she doesn't know anyone here and for most of the men female writers are still in on a custom site at the fantasia. you lot of people think are cheering for my welcome sister after his participation said no for. i can imagine that it's not easy for a woman to attend. one of the it will look at some of the love everybody but i consider it an honor for the other competitors in the fantaisie oh and for our

whole country she. had the i've heard that they're mad not so i want to congratulate and thank her and not have i don't have come out. and begin to come out i've been having theft. i'm very proud to be the only woman among influencing male leaders avail them to god so they respect and appreciate me and that makes me feel good black good at what i do for one thing. meanwhile the traditional handmade saddles are being prepared and the women's tent. is the troops trainer he has years of experience and insights to pass on to the young women. that would make it that women can also be prepared to settle simply a get that imad comes in handy for making the noise some unsettling anytime. you know what if the nazi to lose the satellite sleep over

a holes about women don't have question of strength all right but that's why most is help is so important to look out who. considers herself lucky to have as a coach for the team in addition to being a good riding instructor he also provides moral support and that's the subject of a holy book we happy for them we are all equal alice said that you should teach your children to ride he didn't make a distinction between boys and girls or if the girls are happy then we're all the more motivated to support them to have all this you know there's a couple whose lives are. oh that's so far sad but we love competition just like the men do the nicest. way for child way into their world to learn from them we're all equal there's no do it all on no natural cause this proves that moroccan women are strong we have.

at the festival site the horses have been fed and watered and are now able to settle down for the night. after sundown off because mother and sister iraq. will be spending the next 2 days in the team's town. it's important for the families but the women do not spend the nights alone. in. a fight and it is with their skin said that with a high. held after a because i wanted to achieve what i couldn't yet because i see potential and have . the enemy as you want to i grew up in a different time in the end but i'm sure that times will change for the better as i know that they don't have to every day something new happens so i hope african

develop and i'm in the fort. with. them. after a short night the 1st morning prayer begins in the neighboring tent as you know and . 6 no one earth. the fantasia of folks memories of times and legends past what might seem to outsiders like

a tale from the arabian nights is a living tradition for moroccans to showcase that not only be uniforms and saddles but also the weapons but the event are all custom made by hand. the 1st visitors arrive in mid june early in the day to get a good spot. today fantaisie as are among the biggest public best holes in morocco . the spectacles attract thousands of spectators. to ensure that everyone has the chance to attend. tasiast are not held on religious holidays. and that's and you. little fool us not everyone comes here to have

a good time. either teach what we eat and drink and ride the shit out without it what we're not the visitors are here to have fun just like the writers not said breezy and had to think of soccer. with the men writing is like an addiction open a new concept comes up and if we can't write it's like soccer if you know how to fans have to go to a match every saturday bag but it sounds old it's the same thing how do you feel the need to do to go actually it's even worse much sun shows he was in the bottle. says at something. in our team there's a last minute change. out of concern that not all the women would be able to take part she organized a substitute writer at short notice. the rules require every team to have at least 6 riders on the course. he says that's why 14

year old moloch yari enter father have traveled here in the early hours of the morning to join the growth. that's not my daughter's horses here complete with sad video my daughter can ride with you. get as soon as she's finished i'll pick her up and we'll go back home. is over my head they ask great she's welcome here and they're the ones who exhibited the whole see if everything works out don't let me get in your way and i is not about to now ok then i let head. she's well behaved and will listen to you. they're all good girls don't worry for the moai because you're the 10th amendment so i'm glad you could devote so you can start your training monex gun is here to. piss. yeah wrong. good luck.

the. monarch is young and very talented and could be a real asset to our prez team. up to now she was only able to train with the other women during rehearsals. moloch is used to working with horses but she has not really learned how to handle the rifle. a task not made easier by the weapon away 5 kilograms. the important thing is. if you don't say. things out in the spectator. show you how it's done. said. i know not everyone in the team is happy about the last minute change would be good the new composition of the group is causing resentment. of the place on offer was

a left is particularly coveted traditionally the woman occupying it is the number 2 in the team's ranking i know that. doesn't mean that here yes looking at the live i told you yesterday would ride on your left now look i'm not giving you the place because last time he stretched your arms out way too far i don't want to hear this . you said you'd stop doing it so yeah i was just saying. jumpy angry only good. maybe that's what i said. was if you ride next to me tomorrow and can today please don't be mad i want you to be happy. we're here to have fun not to argue about places i'm not interested in that we've got i remember how. after everyone has calmed down the focus is back on the all important weapons training.

after all the entire performance ultimately depends on the synchronized firing of the rifles. were the ready one last time. was. wolcott. should go ahead. and it was. the dry run went well now the teams have to prove themselves in the saddle and politically kick on should have some but when it comes i thought about documents are not only a problem in women's team men's teams. argue as well. usually it's just a little misunderstanding into a nice little system so we resolve everything pretty quickly. we can't ride

together if we're upset with each other. we have to make peace 1st. we need to all get along well the mother yet. the team are getting nervous. sana is too sick to write. that would mean one less writer on the field. fortunately maalik can take their place. and putting on the costumes is always time consuming. the way the geladas are worn and the scarves are wrapped is something of an art. so everyone pitches in including the writers families who are excited about the upcoming performance. and this happened to me from check imam my daughter is taking part 2 it's a big step forward for the country admitted that on the internet it's advancing

women in morocco democrats much more of them say no to the more under review it does show how american women are now equal to men will turn to a new deal with put off for a holiday just to help the girls with the events going to muster himself in which he dismantled what do you call you don't use and i wish them the best of luck. for the ship the money. and. the. game with. all of the wall that a lot of our. well you know. but the miracle for clarity for you guess on the who was it's important to resign the alpha t. out already because you have to be at peace with yourself because when you have. at the heart and by praying because i respect those who see more without having that me so i can send them over the f. now here's my 1st russian what do you want to know when you say i had no i had the

good ole shot. we don't know with survival i don't know that all because a lot of people have died in the school so if you take offense how human with predator we make peace with one another feeling came. out that you. have. to. keep. trying. to. teach a quest green team prepares for the upcoming performance in their own way. if. you think you can make. it to them 6.

the women are eager to show that they too can master the rituals like their fathers and grandfathers before them but. for moroccans the main point of the fantasia is the spectacle. for the around $500.00 riders it's not primarily about victory but about taking part and above all about honor. for a few hours the horses and riders bring the spirit and skill of proper warriors back to life.

before our team starts they have to register. not name. city surname not. just. your number 20 there are 7 teams ahead of you. 7 ok one look i'm going to do we have to stand in line. and that. normally they don't have to wait. for. the tension in the team is arising from this competition is important for the young women will they be accepted by the spectators. as giving final instructions. in a few minutes the team will have to prove that their training sessions paid off. the

bat has begun. the goal is to slowly bring the horses up to speed and then start the attack. in full gallop the riders seize their weapons with both hands and fire them all at the same time on the leader's order just as their ancestors did in battle and. the art lies in producing a sound like this. single burst of cannon fire played little. that's the highlight of the it's why the fantasia is also known as the gunpowder

game. play but not all the teams managed to perform the beat plays now off and her team have to prove that they are very much contenders in the south like this in the can we start with little stressed driving can be dangerous and we didn't get to train all that well that's the difference but once you get a look you'll see you really have a feeling of powell also passed you feel you can do anything and god gives you that problem you feel like the. end of the 2. i'm excited every player that you may not know for sure next take your guns do the

job and keep cool not a little silly i live. near you do. you know really. the big. players play . such. a thing. even though it wasn't quite perfect off as teams have proved themselves. the

audience and you know is delighted with the performance of the 1st female team at their festival. and the women can be more proud of themselves. and not that we get a lot of applause when there are a lot of women watching you know they make so cool here is that it over although accredited we hear them shouting brother his specially when we manage to shoot in slow mo well i will i will kate on one of you for the really happy moment and they give us encourage the father it also gives me strength because i have a place and a tuscan society and suck us up and it because it's really only our kids but i think you believe it's not something everyone can do but done that you can have a home and a tough black. evan is but after i've been by participating with men and women that africa is helping to

challenge our society and have removed them i don't think she thought of the oriental role she is playing may not willingly but it's still quite rare especially in our hometown and. that and then the people that know and respect her. and appreciate that she a young woman can keep up with the men so she's made a great contribution to the town and the in. a few days after the big event the team share their adventure with the wider world . and how did she get new comments on our facebook page reset the site so you can access it tries it with no not. so and you can upload pictures too. manage what happened she added the new pictures years on how to it right away.

we're going through the pictures from the fantasia to see how we look for towns and decide which ones to upload to facebook or conclude by city and that we now have 140000 followers people comments are now pitches in had the most them and we keep them up to date on the next fantasia will take place the response is really great as the buy it was bottle. there is fair no no to cry foul to let me show you the message i'm prepared with you could be. top dog up my hands and. then you look at this picture i want that one too i'll send you all the pictures in the next few days. that's me. put this on a site and write a comment and i'd like it to better helped me live. morocco's

laws have opened up new opportunities for women. the young women are not interested in fighting up political battles. but they consider it self evident that women should be recognized in society and have self-determination in their lives now and in the future. when the beautiful beautiful tizi deficient will get a good catch. hell of a place you can see what has worked. in the sense that. something that the ocean peter and i. can see the home where i was that fantasia will continue and god willing that i will get married and have children all the best i hope like those who will ride and participate in fantasia's and just

like my mother helped me i will help her to achieve everything she wants into law. i don't. care a team going to change an entire country. and saddam and no one talked about startups until mushroom turn up. the budding entrepreneurs are bringing scenes to the desert and making such stories out of the planet. projects like these could help the country's economy slowed down the t.v. show 1st started. 13 a spondee. w.'s
