In half a century, Dubai has transformed from a small pearl-fishing port into one of the most prosperous and futuristic cities on the planet, rivaling New York, London, or Paris. With the war waged by the United States and Israel against Iran, this new Eldorado now faces the gravest crisis of its existence. Will the city of the future withstand this new threat?
Behind the skyscrapers and the glamour, the city operates like a private company, ruled without checks or balances by its emir. A capitalism without democracy, where millions of foreigners have no right but to work.
The film delves into the inner workings of this autocratic regime, held up as a global model, and questions its viability at a time when Dubai is cited as an example for the reconstruction of Gaza.
