Queen of the Desert

Gertrude Bell (Nicole Kidman), a daughter of wealthy British parents, has no interest in the social life of the London elite. Balls, receptions, and the British aristocracy bring her only boredom. Aspiring to have at least some kind of activity in her life, Gertrude decides to find freedom and move to be with her uncle, who occupies a high diplomatic position in Tehran. So begins her lifelong adventure across the Arab world, a journey marked by danger, a passionate affair with a British officer, Henry Cadogan (James Franco), and an encounter with the legendary T.E. Lawrence. Queen of the Desert is the uplifting, inspiring and extraordinary true story of one woman who, against all odds, changed the course of history. (Kaleidoscope Home Entertainment)
