#ChristopherNolan filmed #TheOdyssey -today in cinemas- in Dakhla, a city in #WesternSahara illegally occupied by #Morocco. Why shouldn't you watch it? A Sahrawi filmmaker explains in @democracynow.org. www.democracynow.org/2026/7/17/th... #BoycottTheOdyssey
Don't miss this in-depth feature in #MetroUK exposing how #Morocco is trying to legitimize its illegal occupation of #WesternSahara with the help of accomplices such as #Trump, #ChristopherNolan, @ryanairofficial.bsky.social, @bookingcom.bsky.social... #BoycottTheOdyssey metro.co.uk/2026/07/17/t...
It's encouraging to see prestigious media outlets like @theguardian.com giving a platform to @mohamed-sleiman-l.bsky.social, the Sahrawi artivist explaining why you shouldn't watch #ChristopherNolan's #TheOdyssey. #BoycottTheOdyssey 🔗 www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ju...
With #TheOdyssey about to be released, it's more important than ever to know the truth behind #ChristopherNolan's film and to hear directly from its victims. Thank you, #MiddleEastEye for giving a voice to those silenced by #Morocco and its accomplices 🔗 www.middleeasteye.net/news/calls-b...
Do not miss the premiere of 'One Struggle: #WesternSahara', the first episode of a documentary series exploring the interconnected nature of global resistance, by #GlobalSumudFlotilla 🗓️ 16 July 8 PM EEST 📺 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vaoj... #FreeWesternSahara #FreePalestine
#BoycottTheOdyssey but if not, you should at least know that the territory #ChristopherNolan portrays as the island of Ogygia—where Calypso holds Odysseus captive—is actually #WesternSahara, where #Morocco, the occupying power, commits horrific crimes against the Sahrawi people every single day.
Sahrawi prisoner Naama Asfari, now on the 36th day of his hunger strike, is in critical condition in a Moroccan prison. We call on Spain and the international community to pressure #Morocco's oppressive regime to respect his freedom. #FreeWesternSahara
Sahrawi journalist and filmmaker Mamine Hachimi described #ChristopherNolan's choice of filming location as an "act of cultural complicity" with #Morocco's occupation. #BoycottTheOdyssey #TheOdyssey 🔗 www.middleeasteye.net/news/sahrawi... by @alexjaymac.bsky.social & @middleeasteye-rss.bsky.social
#ChristopherNolan’s #TheOdyssey Has a Colonialism Problem: By limiting his filming to #Morocco proper and staying out of Dakhla, Nolan would have avoided controversy around stepping on international law. #BoycottTheOdyssey carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202... vía @carnegieendowment.org
Semanas antes de la premier de #LaOdisea, nuestra directora ejecutiva María Carrión recordaba a #ChristopherNolan en @theworld.org que aún estaba a tiempo de hacer las cosas correctamente y no blanquear la ocupación del #SaharaOccidental. #BoycottTheOdyssey #TheOdyssey 🔗 theworld.org/segments/202...
Controversia en #LaOdisea de #ChristopherNolan por rodaje en el #SáharaOccidental. El llamado al boicot puede afectar la recepción inicial en festivales y plataformas de streaming. #BoycottTheOdyssey #TheOdyssey 🔗 www.solactual.com.mx/controversia...
Bravo to everyone who gathered at #TheOdyssey premiere yesterday to remind #ChristopherNolan that by filming in the occupied #WesternSahara, he is helping whitewash an oppressive regime like #Morocco's. #LondonPremiere #BoycottTheOdyssey
This is how #JavierBardem thanked from París as he received the top award (White Camel) at #FiSahara2026 for #AllThatsLeftofYou and how the Sahrawi audience in the refugee camps experienced that unforgettable moment. 📱 Aneta Trubisz & @eldiario.es #FreeWesternSahara
After feeling this #FiSahara2026, the director and writer Nata Moreno told us what is #FiSahara for her: "FiSahara is cinema, is human quality and is a bridge of communication between the struggle of the Sahrawis and those of us who are on the other side that sometimes we don't know about nothing".
#Disonancia: Nosotras la proyectamos en #FiSahara2026 con presencia de sus protagonistas... ahora, bien podrían aprovechar sus señorías, especialmente las que dan la espalda al #SaharaOccidental, para conocer de primera mano lo que realmente hace #Marruecos con el pueblo saharaui. #SaharaLibre
You may have been to a hundred film festivals, but once you've experienced #FiSahara, nothing else will ever feel quite the same. It's a truly immersive experience, where sharing so many moments with the Sahrawi people makes it impossible not to stand in solidarity with their struggle.
En estos momentos tan difíciles, todo nuestro cariño y solidaridad con #Venezuela, cuyo pueblo siempre ha estado al lado del saharaui. Venezuela fue país invitado de #FiSahara en 2011, contando con Xavier Sarabia, entonces Presidente de la Plataforma de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales.
Es un orgullo para #FiSahara acompañar a Lucía Muñoz y #EntreFronteras en el viaje de "Aminetu", la película que rompe el silencio sobre el #SaharaOccidental y cómo los Gob. de España se comportan con quienes fueron compatriotas 🔗 www.publico.es/internaciona... 🔗 www.eldiario.es/canariasahor...
El ingeniero agrónomo Taleb Brahim siempre dice que "lxs refugiadxs no son el problema, son parte de la solución". Así consiguió que un pueblo nómada como el saharaui plantara en pleno desierto del Sáhara, por @silvialaboreo.bsky.social. elpais.com/planeta-futu... vía @planetafuturo.bsky.social
Fantástica velada saharaui la de ayer en el #EspacioSeminci de @semincioficial.bsky.social, conociendo la realidad del #SáharaOccidental a través del cine, con algunas películas de licenciados de #EFA_Rasd. Nos encantó la conexión con el público y el coloquio posterior. ¡Gracias! #SaharaLibre
Hoy tenemos una cita en #Valladolid, en el #EspacioSeminci, con buen cine saharaui desde la @EFA_Rasd y acompañados de nuestras amigas de #HelpMePlease 17 junio (19:00h.) - 📍Espacio Seminci (C/ Leopoldo Cano, 20) 🎟️ Entrada libre hasta completar aforo 🔗 www.seminci.com/agenda/jorna... #SaharaLibre
En estos días que vuelve a exigirse al PSOE que desbloquee la ley de nacionalidad saharaui, conviene escuchar las palabras de la joven Fatma Galia Beiba entrevistada por @patriciasimon.bsky.social para @cadenaser.com durante #FiSahara2026: "Los derechos son los derechos, no se reparten".
Esta semana, con motivo del #DíaMundialdelasPersonasRefugiadas, la Sala Berlanga de Madrid acoge #CiclodeCineporRefugio de @cearefugio.bsky.social, en colaboración con #Aisge . La programación es de lujo y el viernes 19 se proyecta el impactante documental "Aminetu". salaberlanga.com #SaharaLibre
After feeling this #FiSahara2026, the violinist #AraMalikian told us what is #FiSahara for him: "FiSahara is to feel human again, to feel that something can be changed". #FreeWesternSahara #WalkingToOurLand
Don't miss British photographer Geoffrey Billet's powerful coverage of his time in the Sahrawi refugee camps during #FiSahara2026. Many thanks for this remarkable work and for helping share these stories with the world. sannyassa.co.uk/fi-sahara-a-... #FreeWesternSahara
El asesinato de Lehbib Mohamed Abdelaziz y otros dos compañeros con drones de #Marruecos ha traído a los medios la guerra en el #SaharaOccidental. Estas matanzas no son nuevas. Las minas son otra manera cruel e ilegal de asesinar. Artículo tras #FiSahara2026 www.elindependiente.com/internaciona...
‼️Que nos vamos a @semincioficial.bsky.social!! Os iremos informando, pero tenemos dos citas saharauis en este festival que nos acoge: 🎞️ Martes 16 de junio: www.seminci.com/agenda/jorna... 🎞️ Miércoles 17 de junio: www.seminci.com/agenda/jorna... ¡Consulta la cartelera! #71Seminci #SaharaLibre
#FiSahara's director, María Carrión, called on #Al24News not to take part in the film festival that #Morocco holds in Dakhla, in the heart of occupied #WesternSahara. Participating in it means being complicit in the illegal occupation and the crimes committed by Morocco. #FreeWesternSahara
La propaganda de #Marruecos, hoy un poco más coja: se le cae parte del jurado de un festival de cine con el que pretendía blanquear su ocupación y crímenes en el #SaharaOccidental. #SaharaLibre Comunicado de #FICBUEU 👇
#Jaimitna, our multimedia mobile human rights storytelling art project, are these days at #OsloFreedomForum. Jaimitna opens new spaces for learning and dialogue and contributes to a wider knowledge on #WesternSahara and its people. Know more about this project: nomadshrc.org/portfolio/ja...
