"Stolen" a film on slavery in the Polisario Camps shown in Agadir

This is a first in North Africa, the film on the last bastion of slavery in the world in the Algerian Polisario camps 'Stolen' was presented to the public film festival in the capital of Amazigh Souss, in the presence of Australian filmmakers Violeta Ayala (of Bolivian origin) and Dan Fallshaw.

'Stolen' reveals plight of a young slave in the Sahrawi camps, separated from her mother that she cannot see decades after her birth and the intervention of the United Nations.

Her mother is herself slave who was inherited as a well by her master, who who raped her several times, giving her child slaves he never recognize.

The two Australians who were displaced in the camps to support the Polisario separatist thesis, then discover the sad reality of slavery on Algerian soil, maintained by the Polisario.

At  a risk to their lives, both activists and filmmakers made the movie "Stolen", to bring the voice of the camp inmates to world attention.

They were detained by the Polisario  for several days before being released because of international pressure and the film was saved thanks to a smuggler going  to Mauritania.
