The Storyteller

Evan Turk

In an original folktale set in Morocco at the edge of the Sahara, a kingdom has water fountains and storytellers who once brought its people together. As the kingdom expands, its people lose sight of both the desert’s dangers and the storytellers. When a mysterious djinn threatens a Moroccan village, a boy and a storyteller face a sandstorm with tales. Their effort to protect the village places storytelling at the center of the conflict.
