January 5, 2008, a sit-in organized by young unemployed in the city of Redeyef in the southwest of Tunisia, marked the beginning of a civil disobedience movement, which lasted six months. Their names are: Adnène, Bechir, Leila, Jemaa, Haroun, Moudhafer, Adel, they were teachers, unemployed or desperate young people. They claimed their rights to wealth, dignity and justice. It happened in the mining area, the stronghold of phosphate ore where the equation is simple and absurd: the phosphate is produced by the region that suffers the consequences (environmental and other) without benefit. 4 years later, what has remained of this human epic? Wounded souls, broken destinies, open wounds but also pride and dignity.
