Teacher Anas has recently arrived at an arts centre in the troubled Casablanca neighbourhood of Sidi Moumen. He has already alienated himself from the faculty with his rebellious streak. But it’s his unwillingness to compromise that finds him drawn into a close-knit group of students. Casablanca Beats is an exhilarating portrait of aspiring hip-hop artists.
