After having its Michigan premiere at our own AANM Arab Film Festival last year, Life is Waiting — Referendum and Resistance in Western Sahara returns for our first online screening.

Most people think that colonialism in Africa has ended. But in Western Sahara, the end of European rule gave way to a new occupation, by Morocco. More than four decades later, the Sahrawi people face arrests, torture and disappearances for demanding their independence.
