We Are Arabbers film screening
June 21, 2008 |
We Are Arabbers follows the horse-and-wagon produce vendors along the streets of Baltimore as they struggle to make a living and maintain their unique culture. Once an integral part of society, hucksters, hawkers and peddlers distributed goods and services throughout the cities of America announcing their trade with a holler or song. Today, only a handful remain to share their moving stories, revealing their hidden network of back alley stables. Along this journey, we meet the old-timers, their contemporaries and customers, the Scottish ferrier, the Amish wheelwrights and the Mennonite harness-makers. The arabbers continue their heritage into the 21 st century. Do you know who they are? Do you know their history?
