Wide Angle - The Sand Castle


httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GPE7Dyvvc0

His Highness Sheikh Saud of Ras al-Khaimah has a grandiose dream — a new capital city in the middle of his desert kingdom. Once an outpost for pirates and the pearl trade, the United Arab Emirates is reinventing itself, and Ras al-Khaimah, the northern emirate, wants a piece of the future. “The Sand Castle” follows a Norwegian architectural firm as it bids to create a city on the sand dunes.The film immerses viewers inside the royal headquarters and a fascinating encounter between Eastern and Western minds — the Emirates’ ambitions and the architects’ struggle to realize their demanding Arab client’s mirage.”
