The 1960s was a decade of change that hugely impacted the Arab world.
This first of three episodes follows the politics of the time: The rise of Arab nationalism, the newfound independence of former French colonies, and the defeat of Arab armies in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War.
The stories of the shifting sands of the 60s are told by many who were there, including former government ministers, broadcasters, activists and writers.
They recall a decade whose end was profoundly different from the beginning, where loyalties shifted and old certainties were challenged. Later episodes chart the culture and society of this transformative decade.

The 1960s was a decade of change that hugely affected the Arab world.
This second of three episodes charts the culture of the time – from the poetry of protest to authors using the written word as a weapon of change and meeting the Arab world’s radical Sixties filmmakers.
These stories of how creativity shaped the Sixties in the Arab world are told by many witnesses, from fashion designers to directors, musicians, broadcasters, dramatists and authors.
The final episode will examine how people and society changed during this transformative decade.

The 1960s was a decade of change that greatly affected the Arab world.
This episode – the final in a three-part series – charts the transformations affecting people and society and how education, the changing roles of women, improved transportation and the loosening of tribal structures shaped the 1960s.
Sixties witnesses speak of a time that questioned society’s traditional attitudes towards women, the emerging youth culture and the longstanding inequalities between rich and poor. But deeper down – in politics, the media, the jobs market and the family – age-old attitudes and other barriers were often much harder to break down.
