Exiles
This
is a world where there is no theatre, where there is no cinema, no bars, where
you join a hotel social club so that you can wear shorts on the beach without
being sexually harassed. This is a world where a worker from Bangladesh
queues for half an hour to spend $10 to send $10 home. This is a world
where it's better for a girl to burn to death than be seen uncovered. This
is a world where it's ok to rape the maid.
This is a comedy about this world.
In 1998 I was a teacher in Saudi Arabia, culture shock is not the half of it.
John Rackham - confused about Saudi Arabia? I am.
