Films for Television
The film invites viewers on a journey into the exotic world of camel herders. We follow them through breathtaking landscapes, meet their wives and children, participate in camel races, and search for water with them as they wander through the desert with their herds. Our multifaceted film shows how Muslim traditions are coming to terms with life today.
