UAE’S FIRST FEMALE FILMMAKER
Nayla al Khaja is the bright new face of the Emirati film industry. The UAE’s first female filmmaker has already challenged official regulators and censors with controversial topics like pedophilia and subtler themes still considered taboo in this conservative society, like relationships outside of marriage. Tracey Holmes speaks to the energetic young Nayla about her film, her ambitions, and the issues facing her generation.

The idea for Sarah's Bag began while its founder was researching a thesis on women in prison.

A social worker turned entrepreneur, Sarah grabs attention not only for her designs but for her remarkable team of seamstresses. Each ‘Sarah’s Bag” is meticulously handmade by Lebanese women prisoners or former inmates as a source of income and a way to reintegrate into society. Brent Sadler introduces us to the women behind the brand and gets a sneak peak of prison chic.

Special Contribution from iReporter – Ali Dahmash

Amman, JORDAN - I have to give credit to social media such as Twitter & Facebook for making it possible for me to interact with Paulo Coelho, the CEO of Aramex & Orange Jordan, Jordanian Minister of Environment in a very short timeand be featured on CNN “Inside the Middle East”. That’s why I attended Amman Twestival 2009 which is a discussion Panel held for Bloggers and Twitters.

This year the discussion was about Entrepreneurship and Digital Media. Similar events were running simultaneously in more than 202 cities worldwide and Jordanian bloggers as myself were able to participate in this open discussion. It was an open discussion between the four guest Panels, the moderator and the audience and we were able to discuss the future of social media in Jordan and where it is heading as well as many of our concerns. The Panel also discussed the latest in the social media scene and how it is affecting corporations and entrepreneurs in interacting with their clients and customers.

During the event, many Twitterers were sending updates and live feedback on Twitter which was over projected behind the Panel podium. The event lasted until the late hours of the night and was followed by Hot Drinks and the famous Ramadan desert “Atayef” and also a chance for side talks we bloggers and Twitters had with each other which I enjoyed the most. It was a great and enlightening opportunity and finally a chance to connect faces with Twitter profiles.
