The Aissawa is one of the oldest Islamic mystical religious brotherhood. Its name comes from the cheikh Mohamed Ben Aissa. In Morocco, the Ahmadsha cult, very close from the Aissawa, enforces their founders' rituals through violent physical demonstrations. Among its members, the old stands alongside the youth, both showing the same demonstration: singing and dancing in chaos.
Sadati Aissawa is a 80-minute documentary directed by Abdou Achouba in 1982.
