  1. 1. The Epic Of Banu Hilal

    A sweeping, oral-style saga that follows the migration and martial exploits of a desert Arab tribe as they cross into North Africa, blending heroic battles, personal rivalries, love affairs and betrayals into a tapestry of collective memory; through larger-than-life figures and vivid poetic episodes it dramatizes themes of honor, fate and the cost of loyalty while preserving folk speech, song and cultural values of the communities it depicts.
