Legna, is a 2014 Spanish movie, directed by Juan Ignacio Robles and Bahia Awah. with a runtime of 95 minutes.
Legna: Habla el Verso Saharaui is a rare audiovisual poetry documentary that traces the living soul of Saharawi culture through verse. The film strings together poems recited in both Hasania and Spanish by the poets and poetesses themselves, delivered with a rigorous, evocative force that feels both ancient and urgent. The camera follows a sweeping journey — from the Draa River in the north to Agüenit and Leyuad on the southern border with Mauritania, along the white beaches of Bojador and into the vast, vague expanse of the Badia. Each poem carries the weight of a Saharawi national territory marked by revolution, war, resistance, and waiting — territory, history, and culture stitched together through poetry full of life, love, and longing. Legna is an immersive tribute to a culture that has kept its identity alive through the power of spoken verse.
