February 5, 2021

The city is a living, breathing relic still standing in the modern world with old temples across the street from construction sites. The inhabitants have learned to navigate this liminal world and express their love for their complex, unique city. This video, shot and directed by Mike Beech, explores the different facets of Sharjah, entrancing the eye, making it hard to look away.
