The Near East Mission of the American Board film about village life in Turkey in the 1920's. To license footage from this subject, go to: http://www.travelfilmarchive.com
these people are those who were hads on Armenian genocide in Turkey , over 1.500,000 people were masacared raped killed , slaved by the same people seen in this video.
Every men were soldier during the war. So there were not enough people working for the harvest and its transportation. So a lot of people died from poverty, especially in eastern Asia minor. Because they had not enough field for agriculture. These were at western side. There were no one to carrry them. Also they were under in ocuupation.
If you look at the motion picture carefully you can the signs of poverty and poorness after the ten year wars. Beginning at Libya 1911, Balkan wars 1912, first world war 1914 gallipoli 1915 arabia till 1918 and at last the war of indepence 1919-1922 in Turkey Asia Minor. And ended with the republic revolution 1923.
today there are no camels,primitive vineyards and production, laundry days but people are not as productive as their grangrandfathers. But there are still donkeys servicing with two baskets with its rider telephoning with his cellular on the hills and at roads at historical urban zones where vehicle couldn't.
Very interesting shot and insights about the Life at then.Thanks who ever shot this.
