The Secrets of Mauritania: Immigration and the Battle Against Slavery

This documentary travels to Mauritania, on the far western edge of the Sahara, where migration routes and the long shadow of slavery still shape daily life. Once a busy crossing point for people heading north, the country now grapples with poverty, harsh desert conditions and the fight to abolish hereditary servitude. It follows the people caught between old traditions and a changing world. Immersive and revealing, it opens a window onto a corner of Africa rarely seen on screen.
