The voice of the martyrs

The film takes place in the Sahrawi refugee camps installed since 1975 near Tindouf, southwest Algeria. It takes us on a filmed investigation led by two anthropologists and their Sahrawi guide with families of martyrs and seriously wounded from the Sahara War (1975-1991). Throughout the encounters, the narrative evokes the story of a rehabilitation center for war-wounded people known to all under the enigmatic name of Al-Madrasa, "the school".
