Event Details : 'The Hanging Gardens of Arabia' film screening.
Dominated by a volcanic mountain massif on the Southwest corner of Arabia, the Yemen shares the same hot, dry climate as its closest sub-Saharan neighbours, Ethiopia and the Sudan. Though isolated from the outside world, the  Yemen has always been self-sufficient in food as Yemeni farmers practiced a highly sophisticated form of sustainable agriculture. The film is the story of how misguided aid projects almost destroyed the delicate balance of Yemeni agricultural practices.
