SYNOPSIS Sahrawi women have always been at the forefront of resistance against colonialism and the Moroccan plunder of their territory. Activists living under occupation have come together despite repression to document the violence committed against them, their daughters, mothers, sisters, and grandmothers since 1975. This historical process is presented through the voices of its protagonists in their triple role as victims, researchers and activists.
