Winds of Sand, Women of Rock Page #4

Synopsis: This may be the last journey of Domagali, Amina and Hanne and their 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. Yet, the increasing market pressure endangers their 'business'. How will their social status change?

There are women who do business.

- Ls that what you want?

I won't go to the Sahara.

- I won't stay here.

Stay and do business.

We shall see.

I won't stay.

When my camels are ready, I'll go.

Stay if you want,

but if you do,

I won't forgive you.

I will make it.

I'll check on you.

I don't think you will make it.

This one isn't too heavy.

Help me tie the sacks.

Where's the kettle?

The journey to Agadez is difficult,

but it's a nice town.

Yes, it is.

- It's nice.

Your skin gets very dark.

- Because of the sun.

Very dark!

And when you stop

there's no shade.

So people look for shade

under the truck.

Greetings.

What are the red flags for?

- To mark the oil spots.

Oil has been found

here in Bilma and in the desert.

This is good for Niger.

- Niger will be rich, God willing.

Another sack of dates

from the lady.

Goodbye, Mariama.

Goodbye.

- God bless you!

You will join me, won't you?

Maybe.

See you next year.

- See you next year!

Goodbye, Amina!

- Goodbye, Mariama!

I'd love to join you.

- You'll come?

That's another story.

- You must come!
