Dakhla: cinema and oblivion

Director: Arturo Dueñas Herrero · Country: WESTERN SAHARA · Year: 2020 · Runtime: 15 min · Language: SPANISH

Life is going on in Dakhla, one of the Sahrawi refugee camps in southern Algeria, forgotten for 45 years. Since they cannot go to the cinema, the cinema reaches them: the celebration of Fisahara breaks the monotony. With it come foreigners, politicians, artists, journalists ... The event ends and life (and oblivion) continues. As for 45 years.
