Nearby Sky 2014

"A daughter of men challenges men. I am a wolf and they're wolves... I'll eat them!" says Fatima Ali Alhameli, the UAE's first female to enter her camels into the country's camel auctions and beauty pageant competitions. Acclaimed Emirati poet-filmmaker Nujoom Alghanem follows the illiterate yet dauntless Ali Alhameli as she pursues her dreams in a male-dominated arena. Filmed over two years, Nearby Sky is a rousing portrait of a woman whose act against societal norms reveals a country's capacity for change.
