Sahara landmine documentary in the making
April 27th, 2007 by Zsofia
Filmmaker Saeed Taji Farouky has begun working on a 2-year documentary project with Landmine Action on a major landmine clearance attempt in the Western Sahara. The project is based in Tifariti - deep in the Western Sahara, some 2,000 km south-west of Algiers - the capital of the so-called ”Liberated Zone” where the ground is laced with about seven million landmines and thousands of unexploded munitions. The film is being produced by the London-based production company Tourist with a Typewriter Ltd. Read more about the project on Taji’s blog.
