Resilience in Western Sahara is in the focus of this collection of short films. Five short documentaries tell the story of life and struggle of the Saharawis through the eyes of deminers, refugees, farm workers, and activists. Since 1975, most of Western Sahara has been occupied by Morocco, and most Saharawis live in refugee camps in Algeria. The Saharawis, represented by the Frente Polisario, demand to hold a referendum on independence promised in 1991.
