The decision, which came in implementation of the agreement between "Australian Screen" Foundation and the Australian government, as was the case at the Sideny International Film Festival, was made in spite of attempts by Morocco's enemies to prevent its screening.

The public, cinema buffs and critics realised the scope of suffering experienced by the Moroccan Sahrawi population detained in the camps at the hands of the polisario torturers and their sponsors, the officers of the Algerian military.

The 75-minute documentary, produced by the Australian-born Bolivian Violeta Ayala and the Australian Dan Fallshaw, recounts sorry stories of slavery and traffic in persons in the camps.

There is the case of Fatima Salam who meets her mother again after a three-decade-long separation. The two were sold by traffickers. 

The mother said she fell into the clutches of a man who treated her as a slave, and with whom she had many children. 

The documentary directors uncovered another story of a woman who stressed that "should anyone dare speak of slavery, he will go to prison or disappear once and for all."
