Documerica, Self-portrait of a Nation on the Brink
Source of life for over 300 million people, the Nile has been at the heart of power struggles for control of its water. For the past 10 years, Ethiopia’s construction of the Grand Renaissance Dam, the largest dam ever built in Africa, has poisoned relations between Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan, and shaped the geopolitics of the region. This film gathers rare testimonies from a border region torn apart by armed conflict, where violence and massacres have scarred local communities already displaced by the construction of the dam.
Original title: La Bataille du Nil
