On the waves of a book entitled "Stereotypes and Prejudices", the Mangoni van is on his way to Morocco with plenty of discussions about how to approach the people we'll meet in the country.
After eating 2.212 km of dust in less than 30 hours, we are still dealing with improbable debates recorded with a camera fixed on a support in the very center of the van...In some way, Mangoni is our big brother.
The idea would be to record our reactions when we will have to face a direct confrontation with a different culture, but since this means that we're going to Morocco to make a documentary about ourselves, this brings out some paradoxes like: are we the doctor of the patient in this kind of anthropological analysis? Do we have stereotypes or rather we are stereotypes ourselves?A deconstructing Mangoni is sleeping tonight on the coast of Algeciras, six confused guys inside and Morocco right there out of the window, just in front of us but still on the other side of the sea.
