Hammada

Set in the Sahara of Northern Africa, Hammada deals with the lives of the disposed Saharaui people through the figure of Dadah, a young boy who lives in the refugee camp of Dajla. This documentary offers a visual record of daily life in the desert – the air full of sand, the dunes as horizon, the games, the world-weariness of adults' long conversations while they prepare tea… A portrait that quietly and sympathetically renders ruptured lives as both lyrical and hard.
