On May 5 the platform EVERYONE UNITED WITH THE SAHARA was presented in Madrid. The actor Javier Bardem heads this initiative, which includes the support of other actors such as Rosa María Sardá, Carmelo Gómez, Verónica Forqué, and Guillermo Toledo; as well as directors such as Fernando Colomo, Icíar Bollaín and Julio Medem. This platform arose from collaboration during the Fifth edition of the Sahara International Film Festival held in April in the refugee camps of Dakhla in southern Algeria. The objective is to obtain a minimum of 500,000 signatures before September 15, 2008, to appeal to the Spanish government to recognize the diplomatic status of the Polisario Front.
