Ironing Man
Egypt's artisanal foot ironer.
Amm Rifad has been ironing people's clothes for almost 50 years. He doesn't need newfangled technology, all he needs is his foot and a 50kg iron.
Artisans throng Cairo's back streets, none more impressive than Amm Rifad, the ironing man, who skilfully removes the creases from khaftans with hundred year -old irons. Weighing 50 kilos and pushed with the feet, his clients say they're far superior to modern irons. A nostalgic story about dying tradition and real skill.
