Filming the history of ancient Petra in Jordan

This is one of the oldest photographs in my collection, going back to 1982 or 83. It was taken by Ian Carruthers, a Scottish professor of English at Yarmouk University, Jordan. I was working for the Jordan Times, in Amman, and was asked to write a story about this Spanish television crew making a documentary film about Petra. The man in Arab dress being filmed is Jose, a Spanish professor and playwright. I don't believe this was done before I bought my first camera, as I don't have my own photographs of this event.
