The Western Sahara International Film Festival "Fissara" called for a boycott of a film that includes scenes shot in the occupied city of Dakhla, considering that filming the movie legitimizes the Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara and reinforces the exploitation of its resources. It also represents a clear violation of international law. The festival director affirmed that this constitutes complicity in exploiting the Sahrawi lands and resources, which Morocco has been unlawfully exploiting since 1975, without the United Nations classifying the region as a self-governing area. Criticism was also directed at the film's director, urging respect for the rights of the Sahrawi people. Additionally, an international and human rights wave of anger arose over the filming of scenes in the occupied territories.
