Tuareg: The Warriors of the Dunes | Go Wild

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.

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

Studying about this area, 50+ yrs ago, ..this fascinated me.
Now, come to life, on video, ..it's even more amazing.

"The Kingdom of sun wind and sand where humans are tiny specks who must suppress their pride in the face of Nature's vastness only the chosen ones can survive in this Kingdom of nothing", 24:04. Wonderful words.

Prayers and respect to my Touareg brothers and sisters from a nomad from cold desert of Tibetan plateau.

May God bless our Toureg brothers and sisters, surely overcoming that desert is not an easy thing.
I like the way they put life in simplicity.

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.

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

There aren't many places left where traditions continue apparently untouched by modern technology. I am glad these traditions are being documented.
