MAHARITH FILM
SHORT FILM
Over the rugged Zahwan Mountains east of Jizan. We found a village and a social life in a place that no one can easily reach. Nothing is distracting the mind here, a charming nature and a diligent family eager to cultivate and live in a simple way.
What does a farmer's life look like in the Zahuan Mountains?
A new film -Maharith- created to document the life of simple farmer Faisal Al-Masghari the hero of this film. who lives an adventurous life, as he wakes up early every morning to find his way to his farm that none of his family can reach, because it’s requires a lot of climbing and hiking.
“Even if I find a job, I will work a little bit and then return to my farm. Nothing occupies my mind like my farm.”
FAISAL ALMASGHARI - HERO OF MAHARITH
Faisal’s day ends at sunset, he spends his night with his family of 7 brothers. We lived with that family for more than a week to document this story and all we wished to convey these feelings and warm moments we have in this film.
