Death spot for Africans: A documentary Borders perception of the relationship between Arabs and Africans in Morocco’s Ceuta and Melilla

The cinema since its inception has been the primary means of factual identification, education, entertainment and enlightenment of social phenomenon as it presents life as it is. Especially the documentary film, representation of actuality has long been used to expose and educate society. Since the Almoravid’s conquest of North Africa between the 9th and 11th century North Africa has become a haven for Arabs. As in a sense they started a systemic elimination of the original black population of Mauritania. The aim of this paper is to enlighten society of the European and Arabian perception of the African as a subhuman. The objectives are to create awareness among Africans that the Arabian occupation of North Africa is illegal, and must be reversed as those territories were occupied by force. Research approach is qualitative method while data will be collected from primary and secondary sources. The primary source is the documentary borders by Johnny Harris while the secondary will be gathered from books, journal articles and internet sources.  The theoretical framework is dialectical materialism, and post-colonial theory. The findings reveal that Arabs treat Africans as sub-humans while they regard their fellow Arabs more than Africans in Africa. This is evidenced as Syrian and other Arabian refugees are allowed free passage to Europe through Ceuta and Melilla. Thus to grasp a clearer picture of the issues the documentary will be used as the primary source of data to portray the real situation of the most fortified territories restricting Africans. The recommendations are that the Arabian occupation of North Africa is illegal as necessitated by European and Arab policies towards the Africans. Thus Arabs must leave Africa for Arabia.
