Title:
kuwait at 60s

Description:
The State of Kuwait (Arabic: دولة الكويت‎) is a sovereign emirate on the coast of the Persian Gulf, enclosed by Saudi Arabia to the south and Iraq to the north and west. The name is a diminutive of an Arabic word meaning "fortress built near water." It has a population of 3.1 million and an area of 17,818 km². Kuwait is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of government and Kuwait City serves as its political and economic capital. Kuwait has the world's fifth largest proven oil reserves[5] and is the fourth richest country in the world per capita.[6] Kuwait's oil fields were discovered and exploited in the 1930s and after it gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1961, the nation's oil industry saw unprecedented growth. Petroleum and petroleum products now account for nearly 95% of export revenues, and 80% of government income. In 1990, Kuwait was invaded and annexed by neighboring Iraq. The seven month-long Iraqi occupation came to an end after a direct military intervention by United States-led forces. Nearly 700 Kuwaiti oil wells were set ablaze by the retreating Iraqi army resulting in a major environmental and economic catastrophe.Kuwait's infrastructure was badly damaged during the war and had to be rebuilt.

prince of Kuwait Abdullah Al Salem funeral
Abdullah III Al-Salim Al-Sabah GCMG, CIE (1895 - November 24, 1965) (Arabic: عبد الله الثالث السالم الصباح) was Emir of Kuwait from January 29, 1950 until his death, and the eldest son of Salem Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah. As the eleventh ruler of the al-Sabah dynasty in Kuwait, he took power after the death of his cousin Sheikh Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah. He also ruled as regent upon the death of his father until the election of Sheikh Ahmad. Unlike his predecessors, he was more pro-Arab than pro-British. He effectively ended the British "protectorate" status of Kuwait by signing a treaty with the British on June 19, 1961. As a man he was known to be modest, of considerable intelligence and for having a keen interest in matters of the intellect. His reign coincided with turbulent times in the middle-east as well as the rest of the third world. He introduced the constitution in 1962, followed by the parliament in 1963. He also declared himself as "Emir" and head of state. Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salim died two years later after suffering from a heart attack and was succeeded by his half-brother, Sabah III Al-Salim Al-Sabah. He was also the father of Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Al-Salim Al-Sabah, who ruled briefly in January 2006.
SAUDI ARABIA - UNDER THE VEIL
The hub of the Islamic world, the largest oil-producing country in the world, the native country of Osama bin Laden, is balanced precariously between the "modern, Western way of life" and tradition. Over-conservative clerics are asking for a return to the roots of Islam. Reformists are pressuring for liberties. The country is changing and its king is trying to keep a balance by satisfying everyone around him. Women who are not allowed to drive cars; reformists who are often jailed for voicing their demands; clerics and the religious police who insist on dictating every aspect of life; Americans who insist on determining the country's oil wealth; The documentary throws light on a society where theatre, cinema and music are forbidden, while executions are a public spectacle. Wealth and oil, human rights, the "free besieged" life of the young, religion and terrorism... as seen through the eyes of ordinary people and the country's VIPs. English Stereo 72 min
