This film is made up of mobile phone footage shot by immigrant workers on building sites in and around the city of Makkah between 2008 and 2013. Most of the footage was shot for the benefit of these workers' families. The files were transferred to the artist's phone using Bluetooth while other material was originally uploaded to YouTube. Some contributors have asked to remain anonymous.
