Mocha, NewsYemen, private:
Near a clothing store on the main street in Mocha, Hossam and Hamada are filming a short film about the high prices that citizens get.
One of the clips of the film, which the youth intends to broadcast during the Eid days, explains how shocked a citizen is when a clothes seller tells him that the price of his child's suit reaches 25,000 riyals, which means that he needs 100,000 riyals to buy clothes for his four children.
This man compares the amount he must pay with his monthly salary, which does not exceed 70,000 riyals, and wonders where he can buy the rest of the clothes for himself and his wife, in addition to the Eid sacrifice.
The film presents in a narrative style the suffering of citizens with limited income, and how they are unable to meet the demands of their children on religious holidays, even though they only buy clothes for them on those occasions.
The short film, which Hossam and Hamada will broadcast on Facebook, as an individual work that deserves support, highlights some of the suffering that citizens have become in light of the continuous decline of the riyal against foreign currencies.
Hossam tells NewsYemen that the film is a cry of pain in the face of the injustice of prices with the absence of censorship and the government's abandonment of its work to put an end to these collapses that the simple citizen pays for.
For his part, Hamada believes that short films that convey the problems of citizens are the most expressive of their suffering.
Hamada and Husam have previously produced a number of films that dealt with social phenomena in wartime in an interesting way.
