Yemen is a great ... ( 1 month ago by MuslimAmerican1)

Yemen is a great country with great people, but Qat is taking that away from them slowly. I hope Yemen is able to get rid of such a drug that has become part of their culture. Moreover, Qat has become a political thing...Saudi Arabia supports the idea of Qat becoming part of Yemeni culture. For Yemenis are able to put an end to the drug then they will prosper and threaten them economically, militarily etc. Even the Yemeni Govt. is promoting it because people will have nothing and become threat!

I love my country Yemen but the one thing I dislike about is the Qat I hate it so much Its not good for your health. basically its like they throw there money away like its nothing. The reason I said is because they first buy it then chew until there mouth is full of it and then they spit it out. It did not go any where expect the ground.

I love how they talk shit about the Yemen people, and how the kids can't read while interviewing kids who can speak and understand another language. Go to the US and try to talk to a kid in another language. They won't know what the hell is going on. This documentary is extremely arrogant and ethnocentric.

The western man who made this film clearly doesn't understand yemeni culture like yemenis do.

It is funny how the presenter kept referring to Qat as a drug. It is obviously not a drug; it is simply a strong stimulator, just like the 5 or 6 cups of coffee westerns keep drinking all day to keep them going. However, Qat is one of Yemens BIGGEST challenges and locals need to rethink their chewing habits. The kid "I don't tire" is so adorable and so smart.

Dude, are you sure this is an American documentary? Judging from the narrator's accent and the reporter's, I'm thinking this is British except for the one lady they interview. Anyway, sounds no worse than coffee to me. Gimmie some :-).

Americans just think any kind of mood-altering plant or substance is bad. In TIME magazine recently I read an article advising people with chronic pain not to take "narcotic" analgesics, even if prescribed by a doctor. The author argued those substance "change who you are". I guess being in constant pain would leave him totally unaffected.

Don't listen to this dumb westerner. QAT IS NOT HARAM, and QAT IS GOOD AND BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER
