Sinopsis

Moćna meditacija o posljedicama francuske nuklearne toksičnosti u alžirskoj Sahari. U Mertouteku, selu smještenom u planinama Hogar Južne Sahare u Alžiru, provodimo vrijeme sa zajednicom Eskamaran koja nam prenosi svoja iskustva i razumijevanje onoga što znači živjeti sa kolonijalnom toksičnošću. Preokrećući francuski narativ o tehnološkom trijumfu, film se vraća na mjesto detonacija kako bi istražio vrijeme, pravdu, dekolonizaciju i otpornost pred trajnim toksičnim kolonijalizmom.

A powerful meditation on the afterlives of French nuclear toxicity in the Algerian Sahara. In Mertoutek, a village nestled in the Hoggar Mountains of Algeria’s Southern Sahara, we spend time with the Escamaran community as they narrate their accounts and understanding of what it means to live with colonial toxicity. Inverting the French narrative of technological triumph, the film returns to the site of the detonations to explore time, justice, decolonisation, and resilience in the face of enduring toxic colonialism.
