Bull Shark

Spring Grants 2016 - Development Stage

Mohammed Al Ibrahim / Feature Narrative / Qatar, Bahrain, United States of America / 2018 / Original Language: Arabic, English / Interests: Drama

Synopsis

‘Bull Shark’ is inspired by real events that took place during the second wave of economic growth in the GCC, from the late 1990s until 2011. At that time, a sharia-compliant standard for private-equity investment banking allowed for the development of hedge funds to facilitate the infrastructure of mega-cities and numerous other projects in all GCC countries and around the world. When an up-and-coming banker gets hints of foul play from his most loyal investors, he is compelled to attempt to topple a regime stifled by greed, excess and power.
