8:34 pm
we're given, and every image we capture with our cameras. most people here seem afraid of being filmed and prefer not to answer our questions. of the team uh this roger keeps a close eye on her homeland from outside the country. she's in constant contact with people still in yemen. it's extremely difficult for people to speak, their thoughts or opinion and who would be controlled areas. even private meetings are spite on, you know, people know exactly who you met with, who's coming to your home, who's leaving. so there is this kind of paranoia, it's through that type of control that they're able to control the narrative, give a certain perception about them, and also manipulate the people. we're struck by the issue number of pictures of fighters who've been killed in the conflict. there are thousands of them. each one
