Casanegra is a 2008 Moroccan drama film directed by Nour-Eddine Lakhmari.[1] It was nominated by Morocco to compete for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film at the 82nd Academy Awards.
The plot is a typical crime scenario in which two young men, Adil and Karim, are out of their depths they try to make a living scamming and hustling in downtown Casablanca, which they hate and refer to as 'Casanegra'.
This was very evident in recent films released in 2009 like Casanegra, l'Os de Fer, Harash, and Souviens toi d'Adil.
