Abstract

The documentary deals with the pastoral lifestyle based on moving from a spot to another, seeking for water and pasture. A young Bedouin living in a desert area near the Saudi border decided to change it into an agricultural one. He created model farms using experiences from all over the world, especially from the American University of New Mexico. This enabled him to modernize the farming methods, using machines and trained manpower. This Bedouin succeeded in transforming his tribe's lifestyle, it is one of the most outstanding experiences in the region.
