Description:

How much truthful history can be found in the renowned Middle Eastern tome "The Book of One Thousand and One Nights"? Was Aladdin a real prince? Did Sinbad actually exist? And what of Scheherazade, the queen who reportedly invented the tales in order to save herself from execution at the hands of a sadistic king? These and many other provocative questions about the ancient literary classic are explored in this fascinating program. 50 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo.

Ultimately HollowJun 01, 2007
By Jeffery Mingo
The work really drew me in initially by showing ancient and modern, Arabic and Chinese, drawings of tales from the Arabian Nights. However, then it does nothing but keep re-showing those images. There is a paucity of interviewed scholars. Leonard Nimoy states that Ali Baba, Sinbad, and Aladdin are the most famous of the stories and then he summarizes each one. Well, that ate up time! The documentary asks many questions that it does not answer. It's mentioned that linguist Richard Burton eroticized some tales, but the tales that include same-sex sexuality are never brought up. This work presents itself as teaching something, but actually presents close to nothing.
