BiografieBritish-Yemeni director Bader Ben Hirsi began his career as a theatre playwright and director with numerous successes at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and in London where in his early twenties press compared him to Edgar Allen Poe and Jean-Paul Satre. After his MA in Drama Production from Goldsmith's College, London University, Bader turned his attention to projects promoting a more favourable image of the Arab World with his first award-winning feature documentary 'The English Sheikh & The Yemeni Gentleman' generating great international appeal. Soon after, he went on to write and direct Yemen's first-ever feature film 'A New Day In Old Sana'a' which again won an accolade of awards and global recognition.
