The Marsh Kingdom: Life and Change in the Fertile Crescent Wetlands
Discover the wetlands where civilization began — a living landscape of reed houses, water buffalo, and braided rivers that fed ancient cities and shaped human history. This documentary follows the Marsh Arabs (Maʻdan), the rise of Mesopotamian cities, the industrial and political pressures that drained the marshes, and the fragile restoration that followed. Shot with aerials, intimate soundscapes, and local voices.
