Gdeim Izik, The Saharawi Resistance Camp

Synopsis
Isabel and Antonio are human rights activists. They were awoke by the loud noise of sirens and the roar of thousands of screamings. They picked what they could, between what was the camcorder. They switched it on and started recording what their eyes could not believe: the savage assault and destruction of the largest protest camp ever raised in the Sahara: Gdeim Izik. The Moroccan security forces burning haimas, firing tear gas all around and beating whoever lied ahead. Shootings were heard. Children, seniors, men, women, running as much as they could to get out of sight. The youngest started answering back with stones at the armed police. Some people protected the foreign activists. They were told: "it's time to get out, too much risk." They flew from the chaos through the arid land in a 4x4. Tried to contact international press but their satellite phone had been disabled. Antonio and Isabel had to find a way to show these images to the world. It wouldn't be easy. They would have to spend nine days hidden in a safe house during one of the most obscure incidents in the Moroccan history.
