Gilles Pargneaux, Chairman of the EU-Morocco friendship group, which took the initiative of this projection, said "The documentary unveils Polisario reality and sheds light on its essence, its ideology, its supporters, its practices, its lack of legitimacy to represent the Sahrawis or defend a cause. "
