Opium and Cannabis Farming with the Bedouin
Submitted by Little Henry Lee on Wed, 10/06/2009 - 16:00
This short film shows life amongst the bedouin tribesmen of the Sinai desert. Ever watchful for the depredations of the Egyptian army who came previously to destroy their crop, the farmers tell of their agricultural and commercial practices. They also use the opium to make tea, and sit beneath the desert stars drinking it and chewing the breeze.
