A common space for harmonic peacemakers

The Last Song Before the War [Trailer]

The Last Song Before the War captures the inspiring rise and uncertain future of Mali's Festival in the Desert told by the Festival director, musicians who perform, and intrepid travelers who journey to Timbuktu. Against the backdrop of stunning music, the film subtly reveals the challenges and triumphs of creating an artistic event in challenging political and economic times. After 12 years of unforgettable music, the Festival came to a halt in 2012 when Tuareg rebels and militant extremists seized control of Northern Mali. The film chronicles the 2011 Festival — arguably the last edition that captured its original goals — a global display of peace, reconciliation, and the healing power of music.
