Ramadan series: Asmahan

Asmahan aired on Moroccan channel 2M and on other Arab channels

"Asmahan" is a Syrian-Egyptian production about the colorful life of the singer Asmahan al-Atrash, who allegedly led a double life as a spy for the British in Egypt during World War II.

The show has been generating attention due to a legal case brought by the late singer's family, who claim it does not paint an honest picture of her life.

But that hasn't stopped it being a hit.

The series also discusses various details about the different historical stages during Asmahan time and how politics played a major role in her life.

The Director of the drama is the Tunisian Shawqi Al-Majri.
