3- A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia
This made-for-television sequel begins where the legendary film Lawrence of Arabia leaves off. British officer T.E. Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) travels to the Paris Peace Conference with Emir Feisal, the King of Syria, in an effort to win independence for the Arabs. But he soon finds that backroom politics have become more lethal than desert combat because of the recent discovery of the Middle East's vast oil reserves.

Thomas Edward Lawrence was a figurehead in the Arab struggle for independence. In 1916. Lawrence with British backing united the Arab tribes under the flag of Emir Feisal and led the strong guerrilla front into brilliant victories in treacherous desert battlefields. They defeated the Turks who ruled over the Arab terroritories for over 400 years.

Britain's betrayal of the Arabs after World War I and its subsequent carving up of the region for its own convenience is at the root of many of the Middle East's problems today. Historians of both cultures are in agreement on this point, and on most points. And it is interesting to note the similarities between the political situation in the Middle East today and that of nearly a century ago. Although the actions of the colonial powers undoubtedly created longstanding problems in the region and engendered hostility toward Western nations, the Arab ideal of a single unified Arab nation was probably a pipe dream.
