Shot on 8mm film in 1946, this vintage footage captures men at the Suez Canal in Egypt, dressed in traditional white robes and head coverings, searching through discarded materials on a sun-drenched dock. The grainy, color-bleached film shows them sorting through scrap, handling objects, and discussing their finds. The scene reflects post-war resourcefulness and daily life along the vital waterway, with visible ropes, barrels, and wooden structures in the background. This authentic home movie offers a rare glimpse into mid-century Egyptian labor and survival.
