XD9066 ” United Arab Emirates A New Oil Nation ” 1976 Edu Film Transformation of UAE

1976, Eastman Color? Pink fade,

“The United Arab Emirates became a nation in 1971. Before the discovery and commercial production of oil, the land that became the United Arab Emirates was an undeveloped region of Arab bedouin and traders. The film contrasts ancient practices of Arab bedouin and traders with new lifestyles made possible by oil income. Today, oil derricks are a symbol of the United Arab Emirate’s wealth and international importance. To accommodate thousands who have immigrated to work in trading, banking and oil, the government arranged the building of new cities, harbors and ariports. Desalination plants have been constructed in the desert and vegetables grow in environmentally controlled greenhouses. This timely look at the domestic activities in the United Arab Emirates will increase insight on significant changes and new living standards in the Middle East.”
