Lady Kul El Arab is the true story of Doaa Fares, a Druze model who entered the Miss Israel beauty contest in 2007. The requirement that she participate in a swimsuit competition forced her into an agonizing struggle between tradition and ambition that soon involved her family, her community and indeed, the entire country. It is an award-winning film about a beauty pageant turned into a moving story of a family caught between cultures.
