This documentary will take us to one of the most hostile habitats of the planet: the grand Sahara desert. The Tuaregs are also known as the “Blue Men” due to the colour adopted by their skin, soaked by the indigo used to dye their veils. They have always been feudal lords who dominated this immense territory. They assaulted caravans and controlled the routes. Travellers always feared them for their fierceness and ferocity. They are untamed people, impossible to subjugate. Their strict rules, where honour and hospitality are among the main ones, determine the life of their different tribes. We will travel next to the Madugu, who lead their salt caravans through the Tenere, a desert within a desert, also known as the “Anvil of the Sun”. We will know their customs, their beliefs and their way of life and we will discovery the challenges they face today to continue living as they have always done: with no borders or governments.

    I was enlisted in the FFL (long since separated) In Algeria. Things happened and I got lost. The Tuareg people found me. I lived amongst them for over 3 months. I was cared for and treated well. There are days I wish I could return.

    I have no words but tears about how these people manage their well organized wild life with a strong faith away from stress and toxics

    Amazing! What a culture! The desert is awe inspiring and beautiful but also extremely difficult to live in. It took centuries for these people to develop their survival skills. I have so much respect for this beautiful culture. What a blessing to be born in this tribe. God bless them.

    🇩🇿I am from Algeria, and once I went to Tamanrasset, the country of the Tuareg, and I am proud of the blue people, as they are considered Algerians. ❤

    Imagine walking 25miles for 15hrs everyday for a whole month in the scorching desert heat with limited amount of water. Damn these guys are tough.

    Despite all the natural hardships and western colonisation, Tuarig people have absolutely mind blowing culture. Also they are one of the happiest people .

    I’m an Algerian tuareg, my dads side is black. But I’m also Han Chinese from my mums side.

    A wonderfully made programme. It is a bit sanitised eg the salt miners in other programmes can be seen to have a really terrible life at times, but still a good portrayal . Excellent.
