Geneva - "The Identity of a Front", a documentary on the history of the Sahara conflict that incriminates and shows the implication of Algeria in this regional dispute, was screened on Thursday at the UN headquarters in Geneva, on the sidelines of the UNHRC session.
Directed by Hassan El Bouharrouti, the 90-minute movie sheds light on the geopolitical and geostrategic context of the Polisario Front's genesis to better understand the ideology, support and actions by the separatist movement.
The documentary provides many testimonies by former founding members of the said front, as well as pictures from the archives of the "Institut national français de l’audiovisuel (INA)".
According to the film-maker, the documentary is meant to inform the international public opinion about the truth of the artificial conflict over the Moroccan Sahara and of the roots and soundness of the national cause.
