The Walls of Sana'a by Pasolini


A short documentary about the astonishing beauty of Sana'a, the capital of Yemen, and the sad awareness of the destruction of the ancient world (the only real one, as Pasolini says) made by development (with english subtitles).


The second part of this beautiful documentary also shows the town of orte in italy, during the wild speculation of the 1970s that spoilt our country's treasures. it ends with a passional appeal to UNESCO.
Sana'a, by the way, was declared world heritage site by UNESCO in 1986, 11 years after Pasolini's tragic death (dubbed voices are not good).
