oof course it is important to mention that tafheet is present in all over the world, i actually did a report about tafheet in saudi arabis sometime ago. but it's just that i am working as a reporter in qatar now so wanything i do should be focused on qatar.

so, do you happen to know anyone who practices tafheet and can help me?

Sosoya.

Just keep in mind (and I hope this will also be a point that you will portray as an introduction in your documentary) that this exists in all parts of the world. Tafheet is not an exclusive Qatari thing, nor are the Qatari youth the only youth group who do it.

It would be nice if you mention that as an Intro or somewhere in your documentary, that's if you want to be fair of course. But again it's your documentary, not mine.

Good Luck :)

Hi,

It is kind of documnetry that aims at telling people how qatari youth think? what do they enjoy about this? how do they get ready for participating in these races? how does it feel to do it? all theses stuff. it is supposed to be in arabic, but if you prefer to do it in english it's ok, just try finding another qatari who is willing to talk in arabic also so that we have you both on the documentry.

If this is fine with you, please contact me through my e mail ([email protected]) so that we can arrange to meet ( i am a reporter and i have a camera man who will accompany me while shooting)

hey dude

is it like a documentary of some sort???

wat kinda info are u trying to get out of ppl??

if u wud like someone to tell u how amazingly stupid ppl are for enjoying the thrill of killing themselves everyday... i'll be glad to do it.... more than willing to do it actually...

its gotta be in english tho yeh??? i mean yeh im an arabic speaker.. but its so much easier to rant in english... it comes more naturally..

i probably know a couple of more qataris too (mostly english speakers too) that wud love to..

i just wna know in more details wat its about

if you speak arabic - go up shamal road and as darude says down to masaeed.

As with any good research you may want to hang out and observe first - then you may get someone to talk to you - !
