Lady Kul El Arab

Lady Kul El-Arab is a 2008 Israeli documentary directed by Ibtisam Mara'ana which tells the story of Doaa "Angelina" Fares, a Druze model who entered the Miss Israel beauty contest in 2007. This caused some resentment from Israel's Druze community, and she dropped out of the contest following death threats against her for dishonouring her community and the subsequent arrest of five people, among them two of her uncles, for planning her murder.
