There is growing concern that those who govern liberated Kuwait will be unable to restore stability. Torn by war and divided by religion, people in Kuwait are now forced to question how their country should be run. Sons captured and held in neighbouring Iraq are returning to disenchantment. This film follows the reality of the turmoil through the experience of one family and their friends. Whether
Kuwait's leaders can take decisions which set an example to the Arab world is now in the hands of people like them. Jenny Craddock reports. Producer Jim McDougall
