00:00Every spring, Algerians who hail from the Beni Mesra and Helali tribes come together
00:10to play the game of Kora, keeping an old tradition alive.
00:19The Kora game has been played for five centuries and aims to unite people and address conflicts
00:24and issues through the spirit of sport.
00:27The game is played between men from the two tribes once a week during the spring, a total
00:32of seven times.
00:33The sticks used in the game are made of olive trees, while the ball is made of heather trees.
00:39Fathers bring their sons to the Kora game, teach them how to play and hope to pass the
00:43tradition down through the generations.
