Bringing international artists from a mix of disciplines to the Sahara Desert, and with them will create something new, a response to what they encounter.
The film mix testimony from the mouths of the people who live in each zone of crisis with music; image; and symbolism. The audience is invited to reconsider their view of the nature of human suffering, and to build a new bridge of empathy with the people in these remote and sometimes forgotten places.

It exposed deep fault lines in alpinism today: pressures from commercialisation, toxic effects of social media, and long-brewing tensions between those who’ve been marginalised and those who’ve always basked in the sport’s glory.
