In 2009 Panos London took an exhibition of photographs and testimonies to the 17th Policy Review session of the UN Commission for Sustainable Development. This short film documents the exhibition, and the photographs, and also highlights how people responded to the UN and hearing voices coming from the Sahel in Africa to New York.
You can read the testimonies that the exhibition was based on in the Desert voices life stories.
