Theeb

During the First World War, Theeb, a young Bedouin, has to accompany a British soldier and his guide through the desert valley of Wadi Rum. But not everything goes as planned...
A harsh and intense initiation story from Jordan, a country with very few cinematographic productions.

Winner of the Venice Film Festival's Best Director Award, the film uses non-professional actors from the Bedouin community in the south of the country. It sheds a rare light on the Middle Eastern theatre of the First World War, shaken by the great Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire.
