About the Film In an unnamed Arab country in the near future, a woman searches for her husband, who has been confined to a government institution established in order to manufacture unthinking citizens. She enlists the help of Bedouin tribesmen, and they set out to free her husband and the rest of those in custody in the institution. This is a sure-footed first feature by Saudi director Abdullah Al Muheisen.

About 3rd i NY 3rd i New York's monthly film and music salon designed by local filmmakers and experimental DJs showcases the works of independent filmmakers of South Asian descent and local djs, musicians and electronica artists. Providing alternative forums for South Asian filmmakers who often have few venues to showcase their work not only increases their visibility, but also provides a social forum for peers and audiences to participate in an ongoing discussion.
