Between the Atlantic and Sahara: Nomads of Mauritania | SLICE | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Wedged between the vast wildernesses of the Atlantic and the Sahara, Mauritania was born of sand and wind. In order to survive there, people became nomads. It's a tough way of life which has forged the identity of a nation.

This sandy universe with its windswept mud flats is home to the Imraguen people. This strange society, geographically and culturally cut off from the rest of Mauritania, is based entirely around the sea. The Imraguen people have become hardened sand sailors and understand the caprices of the Atlantic better than anyone.
