Inside a Sheik’s Palace

Tuesday, July 24, 2007

His Highness Sheik Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi of the United Arab Emirate’s northern emirate, Ras al-Khaimah, has a grandiose dream – to build a brand new capital in the middle of his desert kingdom. The process of designing a city that will bring the sheik’s dreams to life becomes an intriguing encounter between East and West. “Wide Angle” captures this story in The Sand Castle which will premiere Tuesday, July 24 at 9 p.m. (ET) on PBS. We’ll be joined by the executive producer of “Wide Angle,” Stephen Segaller.

    My company loved this film. Did anyone record it on DVD that we can purchase (amateur copy is expected)?
