Nearly forgotten

About This Movie

Nearly Forgotten (2008) is a documentary that really immerses you in the stark realities of life in the Saharan desert. The film captures the lives of young Sahrawis in refugee camps, and it's fascinating how their drawings serve as windows into their aspirations. The atmosphere is heavy but poignant; you can feel the weight of their struggles and hopes. The pacing allows for reflection, not rushing through their stories, which makes it all the more impactful. The practical effects are minimal, yet the raw authenticity of the children’s art is what stands out. It's a distinctive piece of work that emphasizes resilience and creativity in the face of adversity. Not your typical documentary, for sure.
