HAIYU - Rebel Singer Mariem Hassan and the Struggle for a Free Western Sahara
 is excluded from our online streaming program.
Synopsis:

In the Sahara desert, the voice of one of North Africa's greatest singers still echoes. A voice that has engaged and given hope to a forgotten struggle. Mariem Hassan’s life and music have been deeply affected by the ongoing tragedy committed to the Sahrawis throughout the colonial era continuing up to this very day. Her songs have been given comfort and hope, and have been used as a tool in the fight for independence in Africa's last colony, Western Sahara.
