Among them, the majority of the girls undergo sexual violences and are forced to practice a form of prostitution in the enclosure of the FARCS.

“Film Far Beyond has God”, is a documentary taking the form of a poem about the research of Hubal, during a kind of pilgrimage where the cultural rite is ressuscity because we're filming it. The film proposes a vision about the first god of Mecque : Hubal, who was there before the birth of Islam. So, many spectators will have access to this little part of history and will have the possibility to question it.
