Captive of the Desert
Film of Raymond Depardon – 1989 – 1h38 - OV
With Sandrine Bonnaire, Dobi Kore, Isai Kore

Captive of the Desert is a fiction related to the story of a young woman, Françoise Claustre, taken in hostage by Toubou rebels in Tchad from 1974 to 1977 whom Depardon interviewed during her captivity. This is a fiction focusing more on the conditions of the captivity than on the political environment of her detention. Therefore, it is a film in which speech becomes scarce, rigorous, uncluttered.
