The World About Us

Behind the Veil (5x33)


: 12, 1971

The first film ever to have been made in a Harem. Harem means sanctuary, protection. It means a sacred place... a forbidden place. It grew out of the desert tribal raids and to stop women being stolen. "In them maidens best and fairest Then which of your Lord's bounties will ye twain deny? Whom no man nor djinn has deflowered before them."
