    Storyline

    Edit
    Socotra: The Hidden Land, is the story of an extraordinary lost land, whose ancient beliefs and lifestyles remained unchanged for centuries, hidden from the eyes of the world. Every step you take on Socotra is a discovery. To move through its coastal areas and unique landscapes, is to cross a frontier in time, on an amazing journey that can be made only once, as the experience the next time will be quite different. The viewer is taken on one such journey, revealing the beauty and the striking strangeness of the island, showing the physical reality of Socotra and how it has shaped the islanders' lives over the centuries. The inhabitants have always lived virtually isolated from modern society, and have subsisted with very few resources, but they have great spiritual and cultural wealth. The documentary is a reflection of the life and customs of this isolated society, told by some of the most remarkable characters on the island, who use their own words, and their own traditional tales, beliefs and ways of life, to tell us about their spirit, their future and their daily struggle to preserve their traditions in the face of globalization. —Kilogram Box

    it was good but..
    I actually liked the documentary and I was surprised about what I saw and what I thought I knew about the island,I always thought that it's a dream island and never though of what might be the the every day struggle for the people who live there.However,I didn't see any good landscape shot when it is a very unique and beautiful island. and this what made think that he didn't tell the whole story.
