Oman - Eastern Promise is set in Oman at a time when it was leaving behind its almost medieval character and adjusting to becoming a modern Middle Eastern state with a booming oil industry.
Peter Daniels, a police chief superintendent from London, is sent with a colleague to train a number of Omani police officers to eventually take over responsibility for running the Omani police service. Seen through his eyes, the challenges facing the new sultan and the country are explored, providing a vivid picture of its people, who a few years earlier were involved in slavery.
The beauty and romance of this desert kingdom are not ignored, together with the corruption and dangers of armed rebellion.
The film also explores the complex relationship between the British and the Omani, with the British attempting to maintain their influence in the region while the Omani are trying to assert their independence.
The film is a powerful exploration of the complexities of the Middle East and the challenges facing its people. It is a must-watch for anyone interested in the region.
