The Sahara desert occupies one third of the African continent and is one of the most inhospitable regions on the planet. The region is dry enough to mummify corpses and kill bacteria. For centuries, Saharawis lived under these extreme conditions in the desert. The virtual reality (VR) documentary "Desert Stars" is a co-creation between the Saharawi people and the GalileoMobile scientific project team. The work seeks, through the dissemination of the worldview of the Saharawi people, to denounce the situation of refuge faced by this population of Western Sahara since 1975.
