Items related to Bedouin: Nomads of the Desert
Bedouin is a unique and beautiful portrait of the Arab nomad's life, rich in colour and culture. It uncovers the mystery that surrounds an ancient tribe and their struggle to survive in hostile conditions, barren lands and the threat of westernisation. Bedouin depicts everything from their everyday chores of cooking and collecting water to the more exotic tasks of weaving, moving camp and preparing celebratory feasts. This is a deeply moving portrait, captured exquisitely through stunning photography, of an ancient tribe struggling for transition from a well-rooted traditional culture to the modern society. With first-hand accounts of the individuals that make up these tribes, Bedouin is an eye-opening portrayal of a people whose life is rich in colour and culture. Its testimony will ensure that the Bedu and their ancient, determined lifestyle are not forgotten.
