Shot on 8mm film in 1976, this vintage home movie captures a shepherd in traditional Middle Eastern attire guiding a flock of sheep through a stone-walled courtyard in Bethlehem, Israel. A young boy in a red jacket and another child watch from behind as the sheep move forward. The footage exhibits classic Super 8 grain, warm color tones, and a slightly shaky, observational camera style, offering a candid glimpse into rural life and pastoral traditions of the era.
