Since generations, the native population of occupied Western Sahara grows up in refugee camps in the Algerian desert, constantly being reminded of their dependence on international aid and media coverage.The film „Unity in Exile. Becoming Sahrawi“ examines firstly the ways that Sahrawis become part of a nation in exile that ultimately aims for independence. Secondly it illustrates different perceptions of home: can home be found in the displacement itself?
