At a time when images of the Middle East in the Western media are often synonymous with extremism, MacGillivray Freeman's Arabia 3D offers a broader understanding of this distant land by journeying deep inside its culture to reveal the origins of a way of life largely hidden from our view.

The story of Arabia 3D is told by three vibrant, modern-day Arabian citizens: Hamzah Jamjoom, a Saudi Arabian film student at Chicago’s De Paul University who returns home to make a film about his heritage; Nimah Nawwab, a writer and photographer who provides a young woman’s perspective on Arabia; and leading Arabian archaeologist Dr. Daifallah Al-Talhi, who is digging into his people’s incredible past.

The film is produced and distributed by MacGillivray Freeman Films, directed by Greg MacGillivray; produced by Greg MacGillivray and Mark Krenzien; script by Jack Stephens; directors of photography are Brad Ohlund (topside) and Howard Hall (underwater).

Ticket prices for Arabia 3D are $7 for adults, $6 for seniors/military/students (with college ID) and $5 for youths age 18 and under.
