Debat og dokumentarvisning – en aften om Vestsahara (København)

The members of video activist group, Equipe Media, fight to keep their cameras. They use them to document the Moroccan kingdoms’ violations of human rights in Africa’s last colony – Western Sahara.

No journalists are allowed entry and the only images that find their way out of the territory are the ones Equipe Media manages to film in secret, hiding on roof tops and risking severe consequences. They film police and military attacks on peaceful demonstrations as well as testimonies of violence that Sahrawis are exposed to in their everyday life.

This is a story about breaking an absolute censorship with unique footage from an area where the Moroccan authorities have managed to implement a near total media blockade.

The documentary is a joint collaboration between two film collectives, Saharawi Equipe Media الفريق الإعلامي الصحراوي emsahara.com and Swedish Filmkollektivet Råfilm. It has been screened on several film festivals around the world and is continuously being challenged by the Moroccan regime that tries to silence Sahrawi voices from within the occupation.

Meet a Sahrawi acitivist from Equipe Media in the occupied territories and a Swedish activist from Råfilm.
