About this event

Naïma loses her parents and her hearing in a terrorist attack. From that day she has one goal, to find her brother Saïd, who disappeared at the same time. Her search finally leads her to an overcrowded refugee camp in the middle of the Sahel, but the reunion takes a tragic turn: Saïd has joined the very people who destroyed their family. Director Boubakar Diallo takes an unflinching but deeply human look at what extremism does to ordinary people. Burkina Faso, 2023, 90 minutes, with English subtitles. Premiered at the FESPACO festival. Also known as Die Dornen der Sahelzone. This is the one film in the programme that is not Kurdish, shown together with Afrika Wakati e.V. as the festival's look at the same questions from elsewhere.
