Thirty years later Fetim is reunited with her mother through a UN family reunion program.The reunion sparks a revolution amongst the black Saharawis who speak out against being slaves. Black children are taken away from their parents, people are beaten by ‘white-Arab’ masters, women are the sexual property of the master, they have their names changed, require liberation papers to be free and can\u2019t marry without the master\u2019s permission.<\/p>\n
