Torfa Last of the Nomadic Bedouins

Torfa is a seasoned independent bedouin woman who lives with her daughter in their hand-woven goat's hair tent on a mountain away from the rest of her tribe in southern Jordan. She has her own views on life and how to live it.

Interesting documentary Majida; looking forward to watching other insightful ones :);
Surely many people have no idea what is nomadic life is including me !
Thanks for documenting a life style that we don't know how long it can survive amidst the speedy rhythm of today's world !

When she said اذا تجوزت يضحكو عليك و اذا جلست يضحكو عليك it was translated to ( they will trick you) what she meant is that Whether you marry or not, people will make fun of you either way

هذه الحياة هي نفسها في الصومال ، ماشا الله على الأقل ، لقد حصلنا على القليل من الحياة التقليدية في الأردن .... والعديد من الأجزاء العربية .... أتذكر حياتي في القرية العربية ، في مانديرا ، شمال كينيا - في شرق إفريقيا
This life is same in All Somalia Masha Allah at least we got a bit of the traditional life in Jordan....Which is similar to many parts of Arabia....i remember my life in Arabia village, in Mandera, Northern Kenya - in East Africa

Wonderful documentary…as American, it was so helpful in understanding & seeing in video thisculture❤

[@user-cd4il5qg3u]

The translation isn’t good the meaning of some words are twisted into what they mean literally

[@editingdude122]

I thought that the translation was fine, can you point to examples where the meaning is lost?

[@user-cd4il5qg3u]

When she said اذا تجوزت يضحكو عليك او اذا قعدت يضحكو عليك it was translated into ( they will fool you or trick you) what she meant is that if you get or not, people will make fun of you either way

@@user-cd4il5qg3u Thank you for your input. She meant people will fool/trick you whether you get married or not, i.e. mistrust of people.
