Half Emirati (2012) The Trailer from Amal AA on Vimeo.

"A short documentary that explores the social implications of being the result of a mixed marriage between a between a native of the United Arab Emirates and any other nationality. The local people only make up about 10% of the country meaning more nationals marry expats. Some nationals share their experiences about what it is really like to be a result of these mixed parentage/mixed race/mixed heritage relationships. We explore what society's expectations are of them and whether they are really ever accepted into the culture to which they are expected to belong."
