Also known as the blue-veiled warriors of the desert, the nomadic Tuareg tribe of the impassable and vast Sahara is shrouded by mystery.
As a young anthropologist, Jeremy Keenan documented the lifestyle of a Tuareg family group living at the foot of Algeria's highest mountain; Mount Tahat, creating an intimate and important film about a traditional lifestyle under the threat of extinction.

The documentary series “Disappearing World” was originally broadcasted between 1970-1975.
As an anthropological landmark of its time, the series tells the story of traditional communities endangered by the modern world’s progressions.
The series stands as a historical document of daily life in remote and threatened societies, such as the Cuiva, Embera and Panare Indians of Colombia, the nomadic Tuareg of the Sahara, the Kurdish Dervishes and the Meo of China.
