Amazing and very interesting documentary, Kuwait back then was very much like Dubai nowadays. Contractions everywhere, new roads, new entertainment facilities, and new lifestyle.
It was and still the best and the most beautiful state in the whole ME.
thank you.
Although I am not that old, but still love to watch such clips. Keep rolling and good work Mark
in the first clip around the 5 minute mark you see some guy cut off another driver.. hehe.. i guess driving habits havent changed much since…
i am curious to know about the zamzam lorry driver at the end of part 1. he lifts to small kids up like a 10 foot wall.. why? what do they do now that they are up on the wall, it cuts off before we find out!
i guess they were late for school or something or were bunking class… anyways kuwait back then was way much better than now.. even the kids were decent not like today’s brats…
ii guess the big question is : what happened along the line???
Wonderful documentary, but so sad. What happened to us? We had everything. Kuwait seemed on its way to becoming a truly cosmopolitan place. Now it’s nothing but a big, polluted strip mall full of uneducated, unsophisticated riff raff. Despite the old film, you can still tell that the skies were blue, the sea clean. Today, we’re lucky if we have five unpolluted days a year. And nobody seems to care as long as we have more malls opening up, more junk to buy. Old Kuwait was wonderful—wonderful architecture, wonderful people. New Kuwait is pathetic—tasteless, tacky, poorly executed buildings/projects and a bunch of selfish, greedy, uneducated, ill-mannered buffoons. We’ve truly come a long way…only not in the right direction.
