As Western world tries to break frontiers it also invents new walls everywhere. Between regions, communities, fields of knowledge. In the Sahara, Algerian youth, Malian clandestinos, Nigerian tuaregs feel in their everydaylife the consequences of our policies. The great desert, the tuaregs, suffers from those borders un-natural in a nomadic area and way of life. The only ways to escape this harsh reality are festivals celebrating their guitar heroes, the « ishumar », such as Tinariwen band.
