Sousse – Olive Harvest Trailer (1910)

01 January 1910 5 mins

We see views of olive trees, women in the village, a street scene, a mosque, and the central marketplace with many passersby. Chikli's camera captures the narrow streets and whitewashed houses. We move to the olive grove, where children in the trees shake the branches and pick the olives. A boy smiles mischievously at the moving camera but we also feel the difficulty and intense repetition of his labor. A donkey carries baskets of olives. Men stand in line on a dirt road to receive their payment.
