FiSahara is nothing short of a miracle. Not only does it bring film to the Sahrawi people; it also brings attention to their cause.
In a conflict, methods of expression such as this festival are needed to awaken people’s awareness.
The Sahrawi people are thirsty to tell their stories, and film is like water to them.
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.
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.
