This may be the last journey of Domagali, Amina and Hanne and their Toubou women`s caravan in the Sahara. Each fall, armed with daggers, they leave the men behind and cross the desert to sell dates in Agadez to bring back the means to survive in the village for another year. This economic responsibility gives them a special position in their society. Yet, the increasing market pressure endangers their `business`. How will their social status change? |
