My Aunts from Ghent

The documentary My Aunts From Ghent tells the story of Jemâa, Saâdia and Fatima, three adventurous Moroccan sisters who migrated to Belgium in the 1970s to work as nannies for Flemish families. When the sisters travel back to the village where they were born, it becomes clear that they don’t feel at home anymore. In Belgium they will always be immigrants; in Morocco they’ve become too westernised.
