In this moving and visually stunning documentary, Director Johanne Ihle travels to the mountains of Southern Yemen to capture an ancient practice amongst Yemenite men. The stark contrast between oral tradition and an increasingly digital age of documentation, has been juxtaposed in the tribal regions of Yemen, where men who gather to share their poetic thoughts on politics, current events, and social issues, record everything on audio cassette. While seemingly antiquated in comparison to other global communication advances, these tapes act as strong weapons against political and religious censorship.
