Description 1 online resource (22 min.)
Summary In the context of strict censorship by the government of the then dictator of Yemen Ali Abdullah Saleh, this film explores how ancient traditions of poetry, sometimes set to music and recorded on audio cassettes, were used as a means to circulate ideas about social and political problems related to the fractured relationship between the north and south of the country that it was not possible to discuss through the press
