Ode to Our Land
A Doha Film Institute Supported Film
His Highness the Father Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani was once a young man who lived in a city that would one day become a great metropolis and global centre. On the path to becoming a leader, his vision was formed by many things—memory, dreams and aspirations—all coalescing to make the backbone of a lucid and intelligent development of a nation. Charting the path from childhood to the ascension to power and through interviews, recollections and the filmmakers’ poetic and subjective explorations, ‘Ode to Our Land’ is a journey into courage, persistence and radical foresight.
