July 2006
For centuries, nomads have wandered the unforgiving plains of the Sahara, guided by natural beacons and in tune with the desert's cycles. But desertification is threatening their traditional way of life. The Sahara advances by six miles a year, consuming oases, water wells and engulfing whole cities. In this stunning documentary, nomadic women tell their stories. Filmed in a cinema-verité style, it's a poignant study of a vanishing way of life.

the western media doesn't show africa in this way. they only talk about war and diease. and they don't show the various ethnicities and cultures throughout africa.

you speak such truth with this point. indeed it is wonderful to see a non-enthographic style examination and actual interviews with of a group people in this region. its good that they are allow to speak for themselves. african people are often, it seems, made "voiceless" (and thus, mindless?) by western media coverage. peace.
