Overview
Bidun Hawiya is a documentary short film that intends to make society reflect on the Sahrawi people’s loss of identity, as they are forced to obtain a document in order to have access to certain essential rights. Not only does the Spanish government make the entry of a population that used to be Spanish very difficult, but it also intends to use these peoples’ identity to bury a situation that has been uncomfortable for them for 41 years, thus solving a problem that won’t be fixed until it has disappeared.
