00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:40,397 DEDICATED TO THIS YEMENI SCARECROW 4 00:00:50,959 --> 00:00:55,874 This plaque, signed by the Vice-president of the Government 5 00:00:56,039 --> 00:00:59,395 and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, 6 00:01:00,199 --> 00:01:03,589 remembers the construction of the highway, that was built by Chinese, 7 00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:08,911 between the Red Sea and the desert valley of central Yemen... 8 00:01:09,079 --> 00:01:10,831 where Sana is located. 9 00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:51,474 Until 10 years ago, Yemen was a medieval country, unchanged 10 00:01:51,639 --> 00:01:54,437 during the centuries of its history. 11 00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:03,798 The civil war between monarchists and republicans... 12 00:02:03,959 --> 00:02:06,154 ended with the victory for those 13 00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:10,312 who wanted to change the history, but have decimated the youth. 14 00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:13,471 Soldiers and labourers are just boys. 15 00:02:16,799 --> 00:02:20,474 It is unknown exactly what is the true will of these people. 16 00:02:20,679 --> 00:02:23,512 At this moment, at least in Sana, the capital... 17 00:02:23,679 --> 00:02:27,911 there is an extreme desire for modernity and progress... 18 00:02:28,079 --> 00:02:31,116 such as we have in the West. 19 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:37,198 But this desire has been imported, it wasn't born here. 20 00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:42,989 A small group of revolutionaries brought democracy to this medieval country, 21 00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:45,719 which wholeheartedly accepted it, 22 00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:49,792 but is defenseless, as always, against that what comes from above. 23 00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:00,028 The republican revolution has also been socialist, 24 00:03:01,559 --> 00:03:04,232 as it often happens in the Third World 25 00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:08,711 First came the Chinese, to clear this.. 26 00:03:09,079 --> 00:03:14,631 to construct highways from the sea to Sana and, later, from Sana to the North. 27 00:03:15,679 --> 00:03:17,670 Their presence is charismatic... 28 00:03:18,679 --> 00:03:22,638 and their bodies very natural. 29 00:03:33,839 --> 00:03:37,309 The highways made by Chinese brought to Sana... 30 00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:40,994 the first consumer goods from the industrial culture, 31 00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:44,193 regardless if it is capitalist or socialist. 32 00:03:45,079 --> 00:03:48,674 "Good-doers" that came to Yemen from both East and West... 33 00:03:49,119 --> 00:03:53,351 have put in motion irreversible changes. 34 00:03:54,799 --> 00:03:59,998 As Yemen is a poor country, it buys consumer goods of low quality. 35 00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:04,428 Their desire for progress is still naive... 36 00:04:04,679 --> 00:04:07,398 and full of enthusiasm of a victorious postwar period. 37 00:04:08,519 --> 00:04:11,272 They are content with little. 38 00:04:30,719 --> 00:04:34,109 Nasser was the first to come to aid to Yemeni resistance... 39 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:39,307 with an unfortunate military expedition that was unpopular in Yemen itself. 40 00:04:39,799 --> 00:04:44,190 Still, after the death of Nasser black flags of national mourning were hoisted. 41 00:04:45,119 --> 00:04:48,998 Thanks to Nasser's aid Yemen opened to the future. 42 00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:54,356 A new, though shoddy,structure of a modern city is being born: 43 00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:56,598 the Parliament... 44 00:04:57,519 --> 00:04:59,794 the Ministry of the Interior... 45 00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:04,274 the National Bank... 46 00:05:05,559 --> 00:05:07,436 the Ministry of Information... 47 00:05:12,919 --> 00:05:15,228 the Ministry of Defense... 48 00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:19,352 the residence of the President of the Republic... 49 00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:25,158 The old city, within the walls, remains completely intact. 50 00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:30,750 Sana is a great medieval city, 51 00:07:31,959 --> 00:07:33,790 as big as Spoleto, 52 00:07:33,959 --> 00:07:38,077 and perfectly conserved through centuries... 53 00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:41,235 a perhaps unique case in the world. 54 00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:46,196 It never suffered any contamination from the outside world... 55 00:07:46,359 --> 00:07:50,352 and even less so from the modern, radically different world... 56 00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:53,238 its beauty is surrealy perfect, 57 00:07:53,479 --> 00:07:55,470 exciting and almost excessive. 58 00:07:56,839 --> 00:08:00,195 Even on a more rustic and popular level 59 00:08:00,359 --> 00:08:04,272 it is beautiful like Venice, Urbino, Prague, Amsterdam. 60 00:08:04,839 --> 00:08:07,751 Yemeni rulling class is ashamed of her, 61 00:08:07,919 --> 00:08:10,035 because she is poor and dirty... 62 00:08:10,239 --> 00:08:13,914 and surely they already tacitly decided to destroy it. 63 00:08:14,599 --> 00:08:20,231 The destruction of the old world is happening at every step. 64 00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:25,350 Irrationality is promoted through the neo-capitalist city-planning speculation. 65 00:08:25,519 --> 00:08:28,989 Instead of an Italia, beautiful and human, although poor... 66 00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:33,670 there is now something indefinable; calling it ugly is an understatement. 67 00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:39,115 Excuse me, could you take a look at Orte's panorama please... 68 00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:43,551 the profile of the city of Colina there, take a look at it... 69 00:08:43,719 --> 00:08:47,268 Don't you see anything in this landscape that is worth commenting, criticising? 70 00:08:47,719 --> 00:08:51,394 - Over Colina or the village? - Over the village. 71 00:08:54,239 --> 00:08:56,230 Orte looks like a ham... 72 00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:00,756 Ham is good, just as the profile of the village is good. 73 00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:05,108 And you, look at the panorama: don't you see anything inappropriate? 74 00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:10,673 There are buildings being constructed that obstruct the view of the village... 75 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,837 It is not like before, with medieval structure. 76 00:09:15,999 --> 00:09:19,878 They are constructing those buildings that are spoiling the landscape. 77 00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:24,032 - Do you like the renovations? - I do, because I've lived here... 78 00:09:24,199 --> 00:09:27,430 and new things that are happening seem good to me. 79 00:09:28,839 --> 00:09:31,307 - How about you? - I say that those buildings... 80 00:09:31,479 --> 00:09:33,071 are overpowering the village. 81 00:09:33,959 --> 00:09:37,156 Is that just Orte's or an Italian problem? 82 00:09:37,479 --> 00:09:39,356 I think it's an Italian problem. 83 00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:43,910 - What can be done against it? - There's nothing we can do now 84 00:09:44,159 --> 00:09:49,074 It's a consequence of typical Italian carelessness. 85 00:09:49,759 --> 00:09:53,957 In this building an ex-mayor has an apartement. 86 00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:56,750 He was mayor before, not any more. 87 00:09:56,919 --> 00:10:01,071 - This was constructed while he was the mayor? - Yes, it was. 88 00:10:01,479 --> 00:10:06,234 This building is irritating because it makes the village look ugly. 89 00:10:06,799 --> 00:10:09,029 It spoils the whole landscape. 90 00:10:09,199 --> 00:10:12,509 So much so, that it was criticised by people who are not from Orte... 91 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:13,998 including foreigners. 92 00:10:14,159 --> 00:10:18,118 Once, a German was looking down at Orte... 93 00:10:18,279 --> 00:10:21,191 and said that Orte was beautiful, unique... 94 00:10:21,359 --> 00:10:23,748 and that he was disgusted by the building. 95 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:29,155 Italy is beyond salvation now, but Yemen can still be saved. 96 00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:32,556 Main city gate of Sana opens to places... 97 00:10:32,719 --> 00:10:38,589 where, until recently, its splendid walls stood isolated in the desert. 98 00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:43,910 We're calling upon UNESCO... 99 00:10:44,079 --> 00:10:47,867 to help Yemen save itself from destruction... 100 00:10:48,479 --> 00:10:51,949 which has already begun with the destruction Sana's walls. 101 00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:56,750 We're calling upon UNESCO... 102 00:10:57,039 --> 00:11:01,271 to help Yemen retain awareness of its identity... 103 00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:04,188 and how precious it is. 104 00:11:07,359 --> 00:11:09,395 We're calling upon UNESCO... 105 00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:14,156 to help stop this miserable speculation... 106 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,357 in a country where nobody denounces it. 107 00:11:22,199 --> 00:11:24,235 We're calling upon UNESCO... 108 00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:28,671 to find a way to make this new nation... 109 00:11:29,159 --> 00:11:32,754 aware that its heritage belongs to all humanity... 110 00:11:33,839 --> 00:11:36,956 and to protect it from destruction. 111 00:11:41,999 --> 00:11:43,990 We're calling upon UNESCO... 112 00:11:44,159 --> 00:11:50,029 to convince its naive ruling class, before it is too late, 113 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,757 that the greatest wealth of Yemen is its beauty... 114 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,438 and to preserve this important beauty, 115 00:12:00,839 --> 00:12:04,434 which is an economic resource that does not cost anything... 116 00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:10,832 Yemen still has the time to avoid the errors other countries have made. 117 00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:15,190 We're calling upon UNESCO... 118 00:12:15,719 --> 00:12:19,268 in the name of a true, even though still unexpressed... 119 00:12:20,079 --> 00:12:22,639 will of the Yemeni people. 120 00:12:23,319 --> 00:12:28,074 In the name of the simple men who were kept pure by poverty... 121 00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:32,036 in the name of the grace of bygone centuries... 122 00:12:35,839 --> 00:12:40,867 in the name of the scandalous, revolutionary force of the past. 123 00:12:45,100 -->
