Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Sahrawi refugee camps in Tindouf, Algeria have housed displaced Western Saharans since 1975—one of the world's most forgotten crises, making this 23-minute film almost radical in its existence.
The film's 0.0 TMDB rating with zero votes speaks volumes—this is documentary as ghost, witnessed by almost no one despite its 2009 festival run.
