This short film was one of a series shot for
Paul by Henry Short and while it gives us a good look at some of the local
people, as the backdrop against which they are shot is a rugged stone wall we
don't get to see much local colour – or even the Nile. The first individual we
see isn't a woman at all but a white-bearded old gent stooped beneath the
burden of his load. Next come the women, each of them balancing pots on their
heads as they walk.
