"Mabrook" to Jordan which marked the first Arab victory in the International Emmy Awards!

Jordanian TV-Series "Al-Ijtiah", produced by Arab Telemedia Productions (ATP) won the Telenovela category in International Emmy Awards (it is the first-ever winner in this new category!).

Other nominees from the same category were Lalola (Argentina), One Night of Love (Russia), Tropical Paradise (Brazil). Britain (as usual) was the country that won the most. An award was also given to "Law & Order" creator Dick Wolf .

Al-Ijtiah is a Palestinian love story that takes place against the backdrop of the Israeli incursion in Jenin Camp in 2002. It did not represent a major success (either financially or in popularity) and the majority of TV channels were very skeptical about it, most probably for its political background and for the nontraditional topic.

Basically this TV-series is far from "Bedouin Drama", what Jordan is famous for.

Actually no one can even doubt that Jordanian drama has made a great progress in the last years, just turn on the TV to watch well-reputed Jordanian series on MBC and other Arabic channels, and expect a flood of others for the next Ramadan season.

So are we starting to produce plausible alternatives to Nour, Mohannad and other Turkish series?
