We shall have the whole of death to sleep

About This Movie

We Shall Have the Whole of Death to Sleep is this raw, gritty documentary that really draws you into the heart of the former Spanish Sahara during a tumultuous time. Shot over four months, it captures the pulse of the Saharawi struggle, the lingering tension against Morocco and Mauritania. The pacing feels almost meditative, contrasting the chaos of conflict with moments of stark beauty in the landscape and the resilience of the people. It's not flashy or overly polished, but that adds to its authenticity. There's something haunting in the way it portrays both desperation and hope, making it a unique piece of political cinema that stays with you long after the credits roll.

This documentary has seen limited releases over the years, often tucked away in specialized collections or university archives, which adds to its allure as a collector’s item. The scarcity is notable, and those interested in political documentaries or the history of the Saharawi will find it particularly compelling. While not widely distributed, it has developed a niche following among collectors who appreciate its unfiltered look at a pivotal moment in history.
