The Arab world in the 1970s - Episode 2: Stage and screen | Al Jazeera World Documentary

In a two-part series charting the 1970s in the Arab world, we revisit a decade of great change and long-term effects in the Middle East.
Episode two follows huge growth in the region’s creative productions, mainly political cinema and theatre, against a backdrop of important political developments.
This was a decade of creative risk-takers who battled censorship, challenged regimes, broke with stage and screen conventions, and refused to mirror Western styles.
Film critics, playwrights, filmmakers and theatre directors from across the region tell the stories of the most significant productions on screen and stage.

Please put the subtitles below your every video. Due to the unavailability of subtitles I can't watch it.

Great stuff. I hope we continue into the 1980s and 1990s

Salama fi kheer was my intro into Arab film

Dude, I'm an American who lives in Bangkok, and this video got me addicted to Lebanese opera. Al Jazeera might have reached only four or five people on planet Earth with this, but I:m happy to be one of them.

@@robertfarmer9901 I think I know one of the “other four people” 😊 The director of the English Language and Orientation Program at LSU university, Baton Rough (USA) showed me music cabinet at his home. Guess what? - It only had tens of the very old cylindrical reels of music-tapes: ALL of them were songs of Um Khulthome أم كلثوم , and recitations of the Noble Quran - The punchline is that he didn’t understand a single word. BTW, I’m a Muslim Palestinian Thank you for sharing 🙏

Petra is an ancient Nabatean Arab city in now HK of Jordan. Aka, The Rosen City curved in to mountains. I have taken some of my best pictures there. I think you would love it! Wadi Rum with its lunar like scape is only 50 km drive from Petra. I suggest camping in a a cabinet, not in a modern hotel (It’s windy even at summer time. Spring is probably the best time)

[@cgdk9085]

I'm looking forward to The Arab world in the 1940s or 1950s.

[@muhammadaftab15033]

Please make videos about the history of Pakistan too.

[@maulanakibetikomasjidmepel1963]

You have no history your country itself is not even older than 100 than years.

[@kshitijbhamre8179]

Pakistan is a lost state. It's good for nothing. So there is no point to make videos about such poor country. Losers 😂
