Impossible Journey

In August 1986, Michael Asher and Mariantonietta Peru set out to achieve the impossible: crossing from west to east of the Sahara. They traversed the vast lands of northern Africa long before ‘Arab Spring’ became word of mouth and threw the region into turmoil. Newly married, Asher and his wife go through a parallel adventure in their marriage. The rigours of the desert bring them closer together, until they discover themselves and adapt to the new milieu.
