WILAYA
Pedro Pérez Rosado/Spain/ 97 min./2012/Spanish and Arabic with English subtitles
Born into a Sahrawi refugee camp before being sent to live with foster parents in Spain, Fatimetu returns to her Saharan birthplace following the death of her mother and, despite having been absent for 16 years, finds herself expected to resume family duties. With unprecedented access to the Sahrawi community, who are still waiting for status under international law, Wilaya is Pedro Pérez Rosado's poetic evocation of being caught between two worlds.
