The documentary was produced by his voice and executive, which was produced by Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton. It tells the dramatic story of this British spy, researcher and political powerhouse.
Bell traveled extensively in the Arabian Peninsula before being hired by British military intelligence to outline Iraq’s post-WWI borders. Using never-before-seen footage of the region, the film shows Bell’s extraordinary journey into the unknown Arabian desert and into the inner sanctuary of the British colonial power.
With unique access to documents from the Iraqi National Library and Archives, as well as Gertrude Bell’s 1,600 character private letters, the entire story is told in the words of today’s players, literally excerpts from intimate messages, private diaries and confidential data. It offers a unique look at both the remarkable women and the intertwined history of Iraq.
