Western Sahara: The Refugee Crisis No One Talks About

Two travelling filmmakers spend a week with Saharawi families in the refugee camps near Tindouf in south-western Algeria, where tens of thousands of people have lived in exile for almost fifty years after being driven from their homeland.

Western Sahara: The Refugee Crisis No One Talks About shares tea, meals and conversations with the families, visits the vegetable gardens grown in the desert and explains how the Saharawi people ended up in the camps.

The film pays particular attention to the role of Saharawi women, who lead much of community life, education and political organisation in the camps, and to the patience it takes to keep hope alive across generations.
