"The American Egypt" revisits the first socialist government of the Americas, the Mexican Revolution on the Yucatan peninsula, 1915-24. Within the study of Mexico's past, the Yucatan merits consideration as a thing apart. Attempts to secede in the 19th Century suggest Yucatan was, like Texas and California, only imperfectly attached to the Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Until the middle of the 20th Century, neither highway nor railroad joined the peninsula to the rest of the nation, and ties were closer with the United States and the Caribbean. Totalitarian rule and the monocrop agriculture turned Mexico's poorest backward into its richest. "The American Egypt" revisits the Revolution that arrived late, but which ultimately took on a much more radical form, one resembling the early days of the Soviet Union. With the governorship of Salvador Alvarado, the Yucatan also hosted Mexico's first feminist congress (1916). At a time when women in other parts of Mexico could not yet vote, the Yucatan elected women representatives and advanced a radical feminist agenda. It was also in the Yucatan that Carlos Martínez directed the country's first feature-length fiction film. That film no longer exists (Mérida's hot and humid climate does not loan itself to archival preservation) a reconstruction is incorporated into "The American Egypt" as a film within the film. Mixing found footage, reenactments, landscapes and host of vivid primary sources, "The American Egypt" explores incidents in the early history of globalization through the connections that link social revolution, silent cinema and the suffragette movement.

The Hadhramaut region in the south east of Yemen is well known for its mud brick architecture. Throughout the centuries, the population has developed very sophisticated building techniques and created a unique architectural environment. Spectacular structures such as ten-story mud brick tower houses rise up from the valley's floor. In interviews throughout the documentary, the masons describe their working techniques and the challenges they face with the introduction of new, imported building materials. The Architecture of Mud documents the vernacular architecture, the building craft and the society they belong to.
