About this listen

 Filmmaker Amal Al-Agroobi is half Emirati (from the UAE) and half Syrian, with a passion for social-based and human-interest stories. She started her career in 2012 in documentaries, winning multiple competitions worldwide before transitioning into genre cinema. She now writes and direct sci-fi, horror and fantasy for film and television. Her most notable film was “Half Emirati (2012),” a documentary about mixed-parentage individuals in the UAE; her latest is a Lovecraftian horror, “Ladies Coffee (2024)” about fortune-telling through coffee cup reading in Syrian culture. She has also just completed a documentary about university students living with disabilities in Gaza, entitled “Voice notes from Palestine.”
