Tebraa: Portraits of Saharan Women is a documentary made up of ten stories produced by the Association of friends of the Saharan people, Saguia.
It was born after reading the story told in first person by Fatma El Medhi, who narrates her flight from her land and the hardships of the early years in the refugee camps. She is the present Secretary General of the National Union of Saharan Women.
We plan to show the reality of the Saharan women, to reconstruct it through a perspective of faces and places, thus creating a puzzle where an abstract territory is being put together, where we find those to whom land has been denied. The Saharan people have an admirable capacity for resisting and fighting, but most of all it is their woman who have managed to live, by creating a solid organization beyond and despite their refugee status, in the hammada desert of Algeria.
One of our first goals was to get the greatest number of artists, technicians, individuals and companies involved for the purpose of disseminating and publicizing what is really happening to the Saharan people, which is unfortunately largely unknown. We wanted an active project of knowledge, discovery and condemnation. Our fundamental goal lies in the process itself.
We know that this is just the beginning. Our efforts have been compensated by the positive and participatory response and of all those with whom we have come into contact, with the uninterested support and genuine kindness and with thousands of favors that have been done.
We nostalgically remember the Algerian desert and all those Saharans living in the hope of returning to their homeland, who overcome their weariness every day, and this film is dedicated to all the Saharans and all those who show solidarity for them in an attempt to add a new link to the struggle for a free Sahara. Thank you to everyone who has helped us.
