(Now Playing) Mecca Diaries
Nov 25, 2009
Hajj is the world’s largest annual pilgrimage that takes place in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Last year VICE Founder Suroosh Alvi went with his family and shot footage with an old Handicam. His intention was never to make a VBS doc out of it, but lo and behold here it is…shaky camerawork and all. The next Hajj is expected to fall between November 14-18, 2010.
