“Terrific and moving” —The Irish Times

“Illuminating and insightful” —Irish Independent

A story of a deserted people and a testimony to human resilience.

Set in the searing heat of the refugee camps in the desert of Algeria and in the occupied Western Sahara, Western Sahara—A Deserted People tells the compelling and moving story of how the Sahrawi people’s lives have been framed by poverty and injustice over their 40-year-long displacement. First presented by RTÉ, this documentary illustrates an indifferent world, exposing the human consequences of global economic inequalities, a hostile political environment, and human rights violations.

**Please note: Recommended for ages 15+**

Following the screening, David McKean from Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights will join producer Peadar King in conversation.
