Film

This summer, Kabylie, a region in Algeria, has burned. At the center of this tragedy, women are singing. Her song, Achewiq, sublimates the suffering. With simplicity, the daily life of the Sahel’s inhabitants is revealed. Through laughs and joy, they overcome all these sorrows. The earth’s ashes are becoming the new sprouts to bloom.
