If you only see one documentary-style film about Tunisian salt miners engaging in Marxian revolt, this is the one! And, frankly, feel free to skip it. While some of the imagery is neat, there’s nothing you haven’t seen in countless better labor-related films or North African ethnographic subjects. Kudos on the sound design. (Don’t they have an WD40 for that well???)
