English Synopsis
When Palestinian journalism student Hanaa Al Khatib visits the Sahrawi refugee camps in Tindouf, she discovers just how much the Sahrawi and Palestinian struggles for liberation have in common: the history, a shared enemy, and their deep connection to values such as dignity and resistance.
Sinopsis Español
The short film, shot entirely in Saharawi camps, is structured around three fundamental themes: myth, religion and history. The aim is thus to restore a non-rhetorical and pacified gaze on a people first exploited and then forgotten by the Western world using precisely that guilty cultural tradition as an intellectual weapon in the hands of subordinates.
