Yes, I saw this film too. I had no idea Yemen even existed. It was, or is, so beautiful. I have found out more about this film and it seems the filmmakers faced incredible difficulties. They deserve medals. I too agree that this film can help improve Western perceptions of the Middle East. We need to see more films like this - And why do we have to see films like this only at festivals? Why can't we see them in our local cinemas? Can't wait for it to come out on DVD and show my friends. I think Bader Ben Hirsi is one to watch and I hope he makes films in English too. All I can say is GO SEE THIS FILM - Its everything a film should be!
