With six episodes each
lasting about 50 minutes, AlRawabi School for Girls sends a message to
teenagers around the world about the dangers of bullying.
As Netflix’s second
Jordanian drama, the series is directed by
Tima Shomali and written by Shomali,
Shirin Kamal, and Islam Alshomali. It stars Andria Tayeh, Rakeen Saad, Noor
Taher, and Joanna Arida, among other cast members.
Director Tima Shomali
told
Jordan News that for a long time, she “wanted to make a series that
talks about women’s stories from the perspective of women. And I wanted to do
it with a team of women.”
In her series, Shomali
also underscores challenges faced by young women in high school.
“As a teenager, I saw
that there was a lack of shows that talked about young girls at that age. There
wasn’t something that I could relate to that also entertained me,” she said.
Today, there is still limited
content targeting young people, particularly girls, added Shomali.
Cinematographically,
the series sets dramatic scenes apart with contrasting, popping colors.
The aim was for the
school to look too faultless from the outside, despite being the birthplace of
a string of dark and disturbing secrets.
Each of the girls at
the school is characterized by a particular attitude and story. The production
team made sure to accentuate what is special about each character, be it
through fashion or social background.
With the intersection
of relationships and the fluctuations in characters’ friendships, viewers will be
forced to question the morals of each character.
One thing for sure: AlRawabi
School for Girls moves fast and keeps you hooked with its surprising shifts and
striking visuals.
