Purchase: Qudad is an ancient lime waterproofing plaster that has been used for several millennia in the Arabian Peninsula. This film portrays the qudad work at the 'Amiriya as narrated by the workers, who are all Rada' locals. Because of this project, they are all now part of a government restoration team which will take care of decaying architecture throughout Yemen. In this film, it is clear that their meticulous care and craftsmanship are devoted to restoring the 'Amiriya not only for its significance as a unique architectural structure, but as part of their city's own history and culture.
