Wiki.
The Hour of Liberation Has Arrived (Arabic: ساعة التحرير دقت) is a 1974 documentary film directed, written, produced and edited by Lebanese filmmaker Heiny Srour. The film is notable for being the first film directed by an Arab woman to be shown at Cannes.
Srour was compelled to make the film during her work as a film critic for AfricAsia in 1969, she was interviewing a male delegate of the PFLOAG. She was interested in the feminist description of the Oman liberation group, a moment that Terri Ginsberg describes as "revelatory" for Srour and thus she shifted her focus to documenting the Omani struggle for liberation. She and her crew traveled 500 miles across the desert and mountains and under the bombardment of the British Royal Air Force so that they can shoot the film in Dhofar.
