Little grains of sand (2010)
A documentary about the lives of Sahrawi refugees in the Tindouf camps (Algeria). A didactic video for families hosting Sahrawi minors in the Vacations in Peace programme with the objective of them learning and being introduced to the Saharwi culture and customs so that they see what life is like in the camps for these children.

The show (2012)
Jean Rouch shot La Pyramide Humaine in 1961. We discovered it the summer of 2012. This treasure draws suggestive connections between a politic conflict and the art of creation by itself. That summer we were in charge of shooting the staying of Sahrawi children with host families from Barcelona during the summer holidays. Nothing seemed to us more inspiring than get deep into the essence of that movie. And we dare to play. It is an audiovisual experiment, by way of an imperfect tale, with three protagonists: a Sahrawi friend in exile, a group of kids from the desert and a play.

Lejsara, a history between two worlds (2020)

The main character, Lejsara, is twelve years old and, thanks to the ‘Holidays in Peace’ project, she’s going to spend her third and last summer in Spain with her host family. The film asks whether this program lets their children taste a piece of candy and then takes it away from them.

State of rest (2022)
Salka was born as a refugee in the Sahara desert, and grew up in Italy by chance: she was one of the so-called "Little Peace Ambassadors". Sahrawis have been sending to Europe their children for decades, to show the world the injustice they suffer. A 2700 km long mined wall across the desert, and there's no mention of it even in UN resolutions on Western Sahara. This former spanish colony, just in front of Canary Islands, is occupied by Morocco since 1975. In 2011 I spent 5 weeks in the Sahrawi refugee camps near Tindouf, outer south-west of Algeria. This is where the Sahrawi's escape from their war-devastated land stopped, though none of them imagined they would stay there so long. When I met Salka, her foster italian mother Carmen and her mother Aisha, I had finally found what I had been looking for: state of rest began to take shape. Neither Salka nor I were born when it all began. Western Sahara has been occupied by Morocco and plundered by many others for over 40 years

Daughters of sand (2023)
Benda, a young Sahrawi woman in the diaspora wonders about the future of her people's children and women. We accompany her on an emotional journey to the refugee camps to see the more human face of the conflict. The film leaves the political as a mere context to focus on the dreams and drama of a people determined in their struggle to return home.

Heiresses (2009)
Two planes take off at the same time headed in opposite directions. Fatimetu and Ejehla. Two distinct lives destined to follow similar paths. One past desired, but fuzzy, and a future. One inheritance, becoming more and more fragile. “Heirs” gathers the testimony of different generations of women who live within and outside of the camps and paints a profile of the present situation in which these Sahrawi women live and the future they've inherited, living in an orphan-like territory separated from their homeland for more than 33 years…

Coría and the sea (2014)
This is a story about women who are fighters, tenacious, hopeful, active women…who were capable of lifting, from nothingness, in the harshest landscape of the world, life. They are the Sahrawi women. 40 years ago, they were forced into exile; the men of this region, marched to war and the women created “temporary cities”: The Refugee Camps. They invented a new day to day life which made possible a sustainable existence and a hope, of one day returning home. Coría every night dreams of the sea; the majestic image of its water, the sound of its waves, are the echoes that join the people with their homeland. The will beats in the hearts of the Sahrawi women who maintain their unbreakable spirit, ever moving forward.
