Rappers, Divas and Virtuosos: Mariem Hassan, Voice of the Saharawis Synopsis
For the last 13 years Mariem Hassan's heartfelt, piercing voice has been the musical ambassador of the Western Saharan people. The Saharawis became refugees in 1979 when Spain abandoned it as a colony and ceded it to Morocco, after the exploitation of Western Sahara's people and resources. The Saharawis now live in isolated refugee camps under harsh conditions and with little freedom. As the film traces Hassan's development as a singer and shows her tireless effort to promote the Saharawi cause and culture, it also outlines how her people lost their homeland and the efforts being made by European countries to help them regain their sovereignty.
