Némadis, des années sans nouvelles
Six years ago, we made a film about the Nemadis, a family of nomadic hunters in south-east Mauritania. At the time, only seven members of their tribe still lived from hunting. Eli Salem and Abidin were their leaders, and we had promised them that we would one day return to show them our film… Six years later, we set off to find them without any idea of what had become of them… The film recounts our search across Mauritania, our reunion with the family and the promised projection of the film. Above all, however, it is a testimony to a way of life doomed to disappear.’ (Pierre-Yves Vandeweerd, Benoît Mariage)
