Rashomon au Sahara (English version)

Rashōmon in the Sahara is the result of a research project funded by the Gerda Henkel Foundation in Dusseldorf. An international team travels from different parts of Europe to document the so-called "Ifni-Sahara War", which took place between 1957 and 1958. It collects dozens of testimonies of combatants who took part in the conflict in Paris, Barcelona, La Unión, Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Sidi Ifni, Tan Tan, Tarfaya, El Ayoun and Edchera.

Inspired by the film Rashōmon by Akira Kurosawa, in which a single event is explained from different points of view, this film brings together multiple narratives that make up a complex image of those related events.
