Equipe Media is a media activist network in the occupied part of Western Sahara. They document and spread information about human rights violations in occupied territory through social media and contacts with politicians, lawyers, researchers and journalists. As it is difficult for foreign observers and journalists to travel into the occupied Western Sahara and there is a media blockade from the Moroccan side, Equipe Media plays an important role in spreading knowledge about the conditions in the area and thereby creating public opinion against the occupation.
Their documentary “3 stolen cameras” (2020) won several prizes around the world and was based on material filmed with hidden cameras in occupied Western Sahara, an area where no journalists are allowed by the occupation force Morocco. Equipe Media is currently working on a new documentary on three generations of women Human Rights activists.
Björkåfrihet has supported the work of Equipe Media since 2017.
The film is a co-production with the Swedish film collective RåFILM and Björkåfrihet has facilitated the making of the film.
