Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The film is a work of revolutionary cinema. It relates the little-known and under-reported story of the Saharawis, the majority of whom have been living as refugees in South-West Algeria since the 1975 Moroccan invasion of their homeland, Western Sahara. The film includes testimonies from men and women who are prohibited by the Moroccan authorities from any physical expression of their Sahrawi identity including singing as well as public demonstrations. It shows the repression and violence against the Sahrawi people, among them multiple award-winning human rights activist, Aminetou Haidar, who was on a hunger strike for 32 days in 2009.
