This feature length documentary takes a look at life inside Libya, a country whose reputation in the West has long been synonymous with Qaddafi and international terrorism. <br /> <br /> The film follows a group of western tourists as they venture into Libya at an interesting time in the country’s history; economic sanctions are lifting, international trade is rekindling and tourism is a potential growth industry. Set against the stunning visuals of the Sahara and the Mediterranean Sea, this film illustrates how different our Western perception is from the reality of being in Libya itself.
