The 'Desert Festival' held in Mali every year is a music festival and a center cultivating Tuareg identity, nomadic tribes inhabiting the Sahara. The film portrays the 2011 festival through the eyes of the performers, staff and audience. Now most of them are dispersed as refugees and internally displaced peoples following the 2012 conflict in Mali.
