Jordanian drama wins Emmy for Al Ijtiyah

For the first time in the history of Jordanian drama, the Jordanian television series Al Ijtiyah won an Emmy award last week to be the first Arab production to win this prestigious award. Al Ijtiyah meaning the invasion tackled different love stories during the year 2003 at the same period of time when the Israeli army invaded the Jenin camp in the West Bank. The series was considered a controversial one; most Arab channels had refused to broadcast because the main love story was between a Palestinian freedom fighter and a Jewish girl. The production was shot on Syrian location with Jordanian, Syrian and Palestinian actors. The series was selected from amongst 40 nominees from 16 countries competing for international Emmy categories.
