PREVIEW I A Return To Her Roots

In the small village of Aderj, children and young adults are forced to leave their native land for bigger cities in order to pursue higher education and economic opportunity. But more often than not, eventually they find themselves compelled to return home—to return to their roots. This is especially true for Maria Ibn Jellal, who splits her time between her life in France and her entrepreneurial pursuits back home in Aderj. Following in her father’s footsteps, she seeks to stimulate the economy of her hometown by starting an olive oil business in the hopes that one day Aderj will have an economy large enough to keep families together.
