An exciting visual narrative accompanied by a diverse musical score. Shot during a road trip in the Sahara desert of Mali, Kiahkeya performers and a camera team lived with the nomadic Tuareg/Kel Tamashek tribes and visited Tuareg Festivals. The film captures the people in their element, investigating their music, their dance, their survival skills and the rituals that the Tuareg carry within to keep their culture and heritage alive. The film allows the viewer to think and question the modern way of 'development' and how it differs from the simplicity of life and its cycles.
