The article discusses the significant absence of historical drama in Moroccan television, highlighting that audiences struggle to find works that create an aesthetic relationship between the past and the present. This gap is attributed to the artistic drought affecting the smaller screens, which fail to produce innovative visual projects, particularly given Morocco's extensive historical roots, evident in its archaeological sites and architectural heritage. These cultural assets provide ample material deserving of representation in the nation's dramatic productions.

Moreover, the piece emphasizes that the absence of strong scriptwriters with ambitious projects, combined with production institutions' reliance on daily consumer entertainment, has led historical dramas to recede in favor of other artistic forms. Although there have been previous television works that drew on historical themes and memory, the literary landscape currently lacks the vigor necessary to revive this genre fully. The article suggests that the vibrant history of Morocco deserves to be visually represented in Ramadan dramas, but the current trajectory of the television industry does not support that.

In conclusion, the author calls for a re-evaluation of the Moroccan television landscape to embrace historical narratives that reflect the country's rich cultural heritage. By investing in quality scripts and productions that depict historical events, Moroccan television could not only educate viewers but also foster a deeper appreciation of the nation’s history. The lack of historical drama not only compromises cultural representation but may also impact collective memory among the Moroccan audience, further distancing them from their past.
