Documentary: JORDAN, LAND OF PEACE. BUILDING BRIDGES BETWEEN EAST AND WEST.
“In September 2008, I traveled to Jordan after having decided on shooting a movie. It was during this trip that I felt the inspiration for my first film. I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of Jordan´s nature and the kindness of its people. It felt like coming home. The local population got wind of my project and encouraged me to further develop the then kernel of an idea. It took me four trips to Jordan and a few people who came at the right moment on my path, to realize this documentary.”
How does Jordan succeed in being a land of peace in the midst of such a troubled region? Who are the Jordanians? And how do we experience them? Anne De Lange set out to discover the soul of Jordan and to find the story of its inhabitants and of their Royal Family for her documentary.
The quotes of HRH Queen Rania are the leading theme in the documentary.
The documentary lets us share in the openness, dreams and experiences of both Jordanian and expatriate Western women living in Jordan. Jordan – a fascinating country with Arab “cowboys”, the desert, Petra, hospitable Beduins of legendary fame.
The documentary serves also as intro for debates or a sociable evening. In the future you can order it via contactform.
