Overview

Al-Fanar (The Lighthouse) is an Egyptian dramatic series that tackles one of the most sensitive social and political issues of its era — Egyptian men who marry Israeli women. Spanning decades of turbulent Arab history, from the winter of 1967 on the eve of the Six-Day War through the early 1990s and Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the series follows its characters through a landscape of political upheaval, shattered identities, and contested loyalties. By anchoring its narrative in intimate personal stories, Al-Fanar examines how the grand conflicts of the twentieth century echo through the lives of ordinary families caught on the fault lines of history.
