Video Clip from Kalabsh Season 1. This Ramadan series follows the journey of Selim Al-Ansary, a hardworking police officer, who was wrongly accused of murder. The series recounts the story of a police officer who was subjected to injustice by a businessman, politicians and some MPs who fabricated murder charges against him.
He escapes from prison to prove his innocence. The actor Amir Karara won the love of all police officers as the series is 'the only work of art which did not promote the police apparatus’ bad reputation', said one police officer. The series was made under the patronage of the Ministry of the Interior.
Ramadan is the most important time of year for the release of new drama series in the Arab world as most people watch TV after eating iftar (the meal that breaks the daily fast). A new episode is released every evening throughout the fasting month. This is a good example of the trend after 2013 towards disseminating a positive image of the security apparatus.
