The Changing World of Moroccan Hammams

In Morocco, traditional hammams are much more than just public baths: they are cornerstones of community and cultural life. This documentary follows Professor Magda Sibley and architect Rachid Haloui as they revisit the 20 traditional hammams in Fez that Magda had already catalogued in 1999. In 2018, Mr Haloui successfully completed the first restoration projects on two 14th-century hammams in the city of Fez, a World Heritage Site, and his work was praised by

the King of Morocco. What has become of them since then? Narrated by Francis Mathew, this documentary explores how age-old traditions endure or disappear in a rapidly changing world.
