Sana’a University Media Students Earn “Excellent” Grade for Documentary on Local Success Story
SANA’A, YEMEN – The Faculty of Mass Communication at Sana’a University launched its public defense sessions for the Radio and Television Department’s graduation projects this weekend. The session opened on Saturday, Feb. 7, with a high-profile screening of the documentary “Steady Step” (Khutwa Thabita), a student-led production that bridges academic theory with professional cinematography.
The documentary highlights the entrepreneurial journey of the founder of “Haraz Coffee.” Through sophisticated storytelling, the film tracks the brand’s evolution from a local startup to a prominent investment landmark and a popular cultural destination at the Sana’a Unity Club.
The project was developed under the supervision of Dr. Saleh Humaid, Professor of Mass Communication. The defense committee, which featured distinguished academics Dr. Abdulbaset Al-Hattami and Dr. Hussein Jughman, praised the students for their technical precision and creative execution.
Following an in-depth review of the film’s narrative structure and directorial techniques, the committee awarded the production team a grade of “Excellent”, the university’s highest academic honor.
The award-winning project was researched, produced, and directed by a collaborative team of female media students:
– Manal Al-Qahzi
– Safaa Al-Matari
– Ferdous Al-Hasani
– Abeer Safwan
– Ruqaya Sarea
– Fairouz Bagheel
– Basma Dawood
“Steady Step” is part of a broader initiative by the Faculty of Mass Communication to equip students with the tools necessary for the modern media landscape. By focusing on high-quality, purposeful content creation, the college continues to produce graduates ready to contribute professionally to both national and international media sectors.
