I had been observing a very heated argument above and happy to note that you- a Qatari national also coming up with notable comments.

A scene from the short film
A Qatar group has produced a short movie titled, It is 50ºC, which urges young people to be nice with expatriate labour force.
The film, made by the Qatar Youth Group for Photography and Short Movies, addresses the circumstances of unskilled labourers who work outdoors in extreme conditions of heat and humidity, where the temperatures may reach more than 50º C during the daytime.
The movie is written and directed by Ahmed al-Belushi, photographed by Abdulrahman al-Abassi and starred by Ahmed al-Khayyat, Abdulla al-Tamimi and Ali Darwish.
The film features a Qatari youth as he stops his car to offer cold water to a labourers working during the heat of the day on the street.
However, behind this car is another young motorist who seems to be in a hurry. The young man who has handed the bottle of water to the worker then approaches to the person who seems to be in a hurry. He admonishes the motorist, indicating the importance of such labour force and how they serve the country.
The man who is in a hurry subsequently feels a pang of conscience and regrets his callousness. Eventually, he shares willingly with the labourer a meal he was eating. He finally leaves the place happily as he sees a glimmer of hope in the eyes of the worker.
The director of the movie, al-Belushi, said: “The idea of the movie came to me after I had seen myself how those labourers work in extreme heat in the open. It was almost 50ºC or more. Hence, the title of the movie.”
He said: “We have tried to deliver a message to young people, especially during the month of Ramadan, that they should do good to such people.”
Al-Belushi explained that they are a group of young men and women who love the movies and movie making. They have various positive ideas that they would present through their short movies on the Internet.
To me, a new young generation is emerging up in Qatar with fresh thinking. Young people are travelling overseas for higher educations. Altogethre the outlook is positive.
Let me repeat what late Rajeev Gandhi said" No man is free unless all men are free"
Hi Moza,
