On one side of this war is a king living in splendid Moorish palaces equipped with high-tech war rooms. On the other side are desert nomads, sleeping under the stars, armed with more daring than equipment. The filmmaker takes us to the front lines and to both sides, where the participants are allowed to speak for themselves, making BLOOD & SAND: War in the Sahara impressive journalism as well as great film.

"In any given year there are at best a handful of films produced on Africa that are of the highest quality. And those of excellence that address issues of war in Africa are even rarer. Among the latter is BLOOD & SAND: WAR IN THE SAHARA, a bold, yet thoughtful film that carefully documents the guerrilla war in the Western Sahara.
It is a tribute to filmmaker Sharon Sopher, who produced this hour long documentary, that she has so successfully pulled together the disparate elements that make the war in the Western Sahara a matter which should concern us all."

Filmmaker Sharon Sopher has presented a complicated story with unusual clarity.

BLOOD & SAND: WAR IN THE SAHARA is informative, balanced and responsible.
I recommend it heartily.
