An interrogation on the future of the Tuareg in the region of Agadès in Niger after the great drought of 1972.
The big caravans disappear, the big herds are decimated. Is the sedentarization of these breeders inevitable? This film includes an interesting sequence on the research of the Nigerian biologist Moukaïla Maïguiso for the renovation of palm groves.
