Al Tendail, is a 2008 Kuwaiti series, directed by Mohammad Daham Al-Shammeri, and starring AbdulHusain AbdulRedha, Abdulaziz Jassim, Jassim Al-Nabhan. running for 1 season.
Al Tendail is a Kuwaiti historical drama set in the 1950s, depicting the rise and fall — and determined resurgence — of Jassem Al-Tandeel, a merchant of great wealth and standing in his community. His world collapses when a devastating fire destroys his trading vessel, taking the lives of his crew and wiping out his fortune in a single catastrophic blow. Rather than showing compassion, rival merchants seize on his vulnerability to attack his reputation and humiliate him in the eyes of society. The series follows Jassem's tenacious struggle to reclaim his honor and rebuild what he has lost, painting a vivid picture of Gulf commercial life, social hierarchies, and the unforgiving nature of competition in mid-twentieth century Kuwait. A richly produced period drama that celebrates resilience and the indomitable will to rise again.
