This historical film is must see for any dry sifter.
It shows how Afghans made their purest hash. Notice how the mesh screen is always tilted at a 45 degrees and the same resin is re-sifted 3 or 4 times while only using finger taps on the screen. The tilting alters the pore size of the mesh and may encourage resin heads to "roll" down and through the mesh more efficiently. I must try that 45 degree tilted screen technique next time I do some dry sifting.
The last part part shows the resin inside a fine cloth bag that is jiggled up and down so the smaller bits of contaminant will pass through the fine cloth leaving a purer resin inside. They then heat and knead the hash (though, perhaps this is done after the loose resin has been aged?). Check out R.C. Clarke's book "Hashish!"..it's the bible of all things hashish, a must read for all of us who love making hash or just love hashish.
Bizarrely, the last 4 or 5 minutes of the film shows, who I guess are, Peruvian men chewing coca leaves, each one of them has a broken nose.
