Hunting for a sort of related film...


I'm trying to track down a film for which I know neither the name nor any of the actors in it :) In fact i'm not even sure it was a film but the thing I have to go on is the Tuareg tribe who I believe were in the scene I saw. It was about 6 or 7 years ago so just hoping someone might have seen it really...

A group of westerners were driving through the desert and accidentally ran over a child. They get out of the car to see if the child is alright as the rest of the tribe is running up. They try to apologise/explain what happened in a way that people do when they have no language in common. The child is obviously very badly hurt and perhaps already dead but they decide to try and go for help and one of them, a woman, stays behind to show their good faith. Just as they begin to drive off she is surrounded by the male members of the tribe who take out their swords and kill her. They take this action with no emotion whatsoever, it is act of justice, retribution pure and simple, not a murder.

This was all I saw of it but I would really like to find out what it was because it made an enormous impression on me, a true reflection of what cultural differences can mean.

Any help, ideas whatever i'd be interested :)
