FiSahara is nothing short of a miracle. Not only does it bring film to the Sahrawi people; it also brings attention to their cause.
Javier Bardem, actor (FiSahara 2008)
In a conflict, methods of expression such as this festival are needed to awaken people’s awareness.
Nora Morales de Cortiña, co-founder of Madres de Plaza de Mayo (FiSahara 2015)
The Sahrawi people are thirsty to tell their stories, and film is like water to them.
David Riker, director ‘The Girl’ screenwriter ‘Dirty Wars’ (FiSahara 2014)
Films about Western Sahara serve to tell the story of Sahrawis, document their resilience and preserve their Identity. Those made by Sahrawis reflected ordinary refugees’ lives.
Asria Mohamed, journalist, activist and Jaimitna project leader (FiSahara 2024)
Film is a beacon of hope that illuminates our path, fueling the enduring flame of our resilience and amplifying the voices of those of us who strive for justice and liberation.
