In the Devil's garden, is a 2018 Algerian movie, directed by Pavel Borecký. with a runtime of 25 minutes.
In the Devil's Garden is a sensory ethnographic documentary that places the viewer inside a makeshift animal market in the Algerian desert, attuning them to the rhythms of feeding, waiting, and the ancient bond between Arab men and their livestock — goats and camels whose presence predates all modern borders. As the film moves deeper into the desert, the market reveals itself as something more troubling: a sacrifice zone layered with dark geopolitical secrets. Produced with an immersive, observational eye, the documentary invites viewers to question the unseen dimensions of displacement, confinement, and exploitation in a remote territory where such realities unfold far from public scrutiny.
