Abstract:
An anthropological film about a small village in a remote area of Syria where the people depend solely on the water supply of a 1500-year old water tunnel.
The 'qanats' are a membrane of tunnels starting again to supply water to farmers in this arid country. In the Gulf it's called the 'fallaj'. It is believed the Persians invented the system almost three thousand years ago. A case of back to the future?
