Jours de poussière

18th February 2010, Niger, President Mamadou Tanja is ousted by a military coup. The film takes place during the event and the following days. Sticking to the people mining for gold in the open air, to the persons receiving alimentary aid, the film evolves around the idea that nothing actually changed that day. The Harmattan is as strong an ever, covering the land with the desert dust. (Karim Shimsal)
