Ten years after Houthi fighters captured Sanaa and pushed Yemen's recognized government south, this DW film goes inside the territory the militia now rules. Patched-together Yemeni and Gaza flags fly over the old city walls, and posters of killed fighters, many of them looking like children, line the streets. Reporters meet Houthi fighters who frame their cause as holy war against Israel and the West, tying recent rocket attacks on Israel and strikes on Red Sea shipping to the same propaganda that keeps domestic dissatisfaction pointed outward. They also meet the people living under Houthi control: parents fighting to keep children fed, families watched by a security apparatus that tracks where they go and what they say, and civilians who lived through Saudi-led, Western-backed airstrikes that killed thousands. The film sets that ground-level footage against the wider picture of a decade-long civil war and a humanitarian crisis international agencies rank among the world's worst, offering a rare, direct look at a movement usually seen only through the missiles it fires.
