This most interesting documentary talks about the coincidental discovery of old footage about the making of ‘Oil and Sand’, a film intended to be made by and about members of Egypt's royal family in the weeks and months before the coup d'état in 1952. The story of the film itself actually predicted a military coup and starred several members of the royal family. Its copies were destroyed, but not the making of.
