The Delegation of the European Union to the State of Eritrea in cooperation with the National Union of Eritrean Youth and Students is organizing screenings of a movie named Sahara to Eritrean youth in three regions of the country. The film is made by Eritrean filmmakers and tells a story of a group of friends who illegally travel to Sudan, hope to cross the desert and then travel further to Europe.
