Sollywood spotlights Saudi dramas about injustice.
In Sollywood’s selection, injustice takes different forms across four Saudi dramas. The first follows four friends whose studies in Istanbul are interrupted by conscription during World War I, bringing them into a story of repression and political conflict alongside friendship, courage and hope. In the second, greed for money and power fuels conflict between brothers Rashid and Faisal; plots by Rashid and his wife, Noura, lead to a tragedy involving Faisal’s wife, Abeer. The third follows Munifa as false accusations threaten her reputation and stability, and she tries to defend her dignity and establish the truth. The fourth follows Altaf, a girl with a cleft lip who faces social bullying and its effects on her wellbeing and relationships while seeking self-acceptance and happiness. The hardships differ, but the characters keep trying to hold on to their dignity.
