The Sleeping Tree will truly capture your soul with its images and sounds. The film is extremely personal and deep yet represented in minimal pictures that take you to a wonderful world of a picturesque yet truthful Bahrain. It makes you wonder if motion pictures could have a soul.
The film stands alone but strong. It's well made in every aspect like nothing the region has witnessed. Jamaan Alrowaiei's played the role of his life, Mohammed Alhadad tied it all together, and Mohammed Buali made it happen. The Sleeping Tree has set the bar too high for any filmmaker in the GCC and the Arab world.
