ACHEWIQ, THE SONG OF THE BRAVE WOMEN
This summer, Kabylie, a region in Algeria, has burned. At the center of this tragedy, women are singing. Their song, Achewiq, sublimates the suffering. With simplicity, the daily life of the Sahel’s inhabitants is revealed. Through laughs and joy, they overcome all these sorrows. The earth’s ashes are becoming new sprouts ready to bloom.
