How it feels

This documentary focuses on Sahrawi women living in exile after Morocco denied the Sahrawi people their land. It shows how these women have become the foundation of their society, sustaining their struggle and resistance through daily life in refugee camps, abroad, and on occupied territory. The film uses the intimate desert songs called Tebraa to enter their private world of fatigue, love, fight, and longing.

What happens

Tebraa, retratos de mujeres saharauis est un film documentaire espagnol réalisé en 2007. Le Maroc nie au peuple sahraoui sa terre et sa vie depuis plus de 30 ans. Dans l’exil, les femmes sont devenues le pilier fondamental, la pierre angulaire de la société, celles qui maintiennent vivantes la lutte et la résistance. Lutte quotidienne depuis leurs différents exils ; à l’étranger, dans les camps de réfugiés, sur leurs terres occupées, se reflètent la grandeur et la force des femmes sahraouies. La « Tebraa » est le chant des femmes du désert du Sahara, des chants d’amour ou des plaintes, qu’elles entonnent quand elles sont seules. Ce sont donc des chants intimes. C’est dans cet espace gardé, de fatigue et d’amour, de lutte et de désir, que nous avons voulu nous introduire. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
