The World About Us
Behind the Veil
S5 • E33 Dec 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."
