Pearls, Oil, and Gas: The Remarkable Story of the Gulf States I SLICE HISTORY | FULL DOCUMENTARY

For the first time, this documentary tells the incredible tale of the metamorphosis of the Gulf’s emirates over the course of the last century. Thanks to exceptional archives, this documentary explores the history of this unique country, from the “white gold” (the pearl) to the black gold (oil) and the blue gold (gas), and its current ambition to achieve sustainable growth without relying only on hydrocarbon reserves.
