I've downloaded several videos [32 pcs] of some of the places we had been to. Most the videos were shot within the last ten years, nothing too old; except the ones of Tiznit in 1982 and Taroudant in 1984; these two videos are a bit grainy, but the towns looks more like they did when we were there.
The videos were shot in the very places where we had been. A number of the areas appear to be cleaned up and reshaped a bit; Agadir in particular. I also thought it would be cool to see things in motion instead of just photographs.

very cheap. [4:30 minutes]

Agadir, it looks like any other modern city anywhere. However, it sure didn't
look like this in 1975. Things sure have changed a great deal in the last 40 years.

Tiznit, about 80 Km south of Agadir. In 1975 more than 90% of the city was
behind the defensive wall. Over the years the city has developed well beyond the walls.
This was shot in 2014.

Tiznit 1982, very grainy film, but the town is closer to how
it looked when we were there, although even at this time,
redevelopment was already under way. [5:38 minutes]

This is the exact beach we were at forty years ago. In this video, the caves are
shown from GoPro helmet cameras on para-gliders.
The caves have been upgraded massively; they're actually quite livable.
It all looks quite a bit different than they did in 1975.
Compare the caves here to the photos on page 11 of the Morocco story.

Travelling north from Taroudant to Marrakesh through Tizi-n-Test Pass,
in the High Atlas Mountains. This is the road we took. It's a lot more scary

scenic videos. [4:21 minutes]

This is a 43 minute documentary made by a team from Holland. It focuses on the massive
marijuana fields that grow high in the Rif Mountain valleys in the Ketama region of
northern Morocco.
It's a great overview of the fields of crop and the production of hash and oil, and the
hassles they encountered with border cops.
