After Donald Trump鈥檚 recent call for Spain to build a wall across the Sahara Desert to curb African migration into Europe, we follow a unique group of Sahrawi women working alongside the world鈥檚 longest minefield, the 2,700km sand wall or berm built by Morocco across the region.

We join Baba, Minetou, Nora and the team working in temperatures exceeding 42掳c (107掳f), hundreds of miles from even rudimentary medical care, as they risk their lives in Western Sahara鈥檚 so-called 鈥淟iberated Territories鈥� east of the Berm, clearing some of the seven million landmines and unexploded bombs left over from the still unresolved conflict between Morocco and the ethnic Sahrawi liberation movement, the Polisario Front.

Despite decades of paralysis in the UN-led decolonisation and referendum process, and some little scepticism in their own society, over sweet Sahrawi tea and camel pizza we learn how these young women have realised universal aspirations to an education, a family and a vocation, and beyond those goals to act as role models in a community exiled and forgotten deep in the Sahara for over 40 years.

Dreaming of a day they might reside freely in an independent homeland, but living in an era defined by calls to 鈥淏uild That Wall鈥�, Number One Ladies鈥� Landmine Agency reveals a story of hope and tolerance embodied by a group of young women redefining the stereotype of the veiled, subjugated Arab woman, whose shared mission is to tear down barriers in all their forms.
