DOHA: Aljazeera English will broadcast a three-episode documentary series commemorating 100 years since the outbreak of World War I.
In the series, Producer Journalist Malek Al Tureiki, provides a political and cultural reading into World War I from an Arab and Islamic perspective. The series sheds light on how colonised nations, which had no say in their own fate, ended up being forced into wars which resulted in enormous sacrifices. World War I through Arab Eyes relies on archival materials presented for the first time, telling the fascinating story of how the war affected the Middle East – reverberations being felt to the present day. the peninsula
