Satellite Queens - Behind the Scenes of a Prime Time Arab Talk Show plot

"Satellite Queens - Behind the Scenes of a Prime Time Arab Talk Show" focuses on MBC's popular talk show Kalam Nawaem (Soft Talk or Women's Talk), in which four women discuss (current) topics that are taboo in the Middle East . The women try in a pragmatic way to initiate discussion in the Arab world, as well as to change conservative views. Sensitive subjects such as male emotions, terrorism, masturbation and homosexuality are discussed from different angles - only politics is not discussed, that is 'not done'. The Dutch director Bregtje van der Haak switches from Beirut - where the show is recorded - to Cairo, Dubai, Riyadh and back to Beirut.
