Winds of Sand, Women of Rock

Filmplakat für 'Die Frauen Karawane' mit einem Porträt einer Frau mit Kopftuch vor einer Wüstenlandschaft, in der eine andere Frau und eine Karawane von Kamelen zu sehen sind, dazu der Titel und weitere Textinformationen zum Film.

This may be the last journey of Ismitta, Ebiere and Uma and their companions of the 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.
