In spite of the dryness and hopeless view, the Sahara is a territory of immense open lands in which life beats, irrigated by the rivers Senegal, Niger and Nile. Over the centuries, incredible civilizations have emerged here and black and white people, Coptic, Christian, Jews and Muslims, nomadic shepherds, fishermen and sedentary farmers have all cohabited. We travel across this land to narrate the stories of the men and women at Sahel, their trials for survival at the verge of desertification and the falling of their ancestral way of life.
