The screening, held as part of the Al Owais Film Club\u2019s activities, was attended by H.E. Mohammed Ahmed Al Murr, Chairman of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Library Foundation; H.E. Dr. Abdullah Majed Al Ali, Director General of the National Library and Archives; H.E. Abdul Hamid Ahmad, Secretary General of the Foundation; and Dr. Fatima Al Sayegh, a member of the Foundation\u2019s Board of Trustees.<\/span> The event also attracted a large gathering of intellectuals, media professionals, filmmakers and enthusiasts of the UAE\u2019s history and heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSamson of Arabia,\u201d with his long hair, thick beard and familiar smile, received a warm welcome from the audience, many of whom were eager to take commemorative photographs with him.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Director Nasser Al Dhaheri spoke about the making of the documentary, which took nearly two years to complete. The production involved extensive field research, the collection of rare archival materials, including photographs and Arab magazines that had featured Samson on their covers, and interviews with eyewitnesses who had attended his performances.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\u0646\u0627\u0635\u0631<\/a><\/p>\n

Nasser Al Dhaheri introduces his documentary ahead of the screening<\/p>\n

Al Dhaheri said: \u201cThe greatest challenge was not documenting his extraordinary <\/span>strength but<\/span> finding a way to transform the stories we heard as children in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, about a man who could break rocks on his stomach and pull cars with his hair, into a visual narrative that preserve<\/span>s<\/span> the man\u2019s legendary status without slipping into fantasy.<\/span> I wanted to discover the man behind the legend, Ali bin Hassan, who carried the UAE\u2019s name with him as he travelled across Arab cities, earning just a few dirhams from his performances, at a time when we had no institutions to project our image to the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He added: \u201cSamson was a one-man media powerhouse. He would shout the names of the UAE and Dubai <\/span>at<\/span> every stage. He was a people’s ambassador long before the era of ambassadors.<\/span> Th<\/span>is<\/span> film is an attempt to revive a part of our collective memory that we had almost forgotten, and to pay tribute to a man who is now over 80 and lives alone after bidding farewell to his Delilah, yet the echoes of the audience\u2019s cheers still ring in his ears.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\u0646\u062e\u0628\u0629<\/a><\/p>\n

Abdul Hamid Ahmad, <\/span>the Foundation\u2019s <\/span>Secretary General, said:<\/span> \u201cAt the Al Owais Foundation, we believe that cinema is the <\/span>nation\u2019s <\/span>visual memory<\/span>.<\/span> If literature writes history, images preserve it, keeping it alive and vibrant. A figure like \u2018Samson of Arabia\u2019 has lived in the collective memory of the people as an oral legend for 50 years. It was our cultural duty to transform his story from one that is told into a visual document that can be seen, ensuring that the legacy of this folk hero remains alive for future generations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He added:<\/span> \u201cThis screening is part of <\/span>the<\/span> Al Owais Cultural Foundation<\/span>\u2019s <\/span>comprehensive strategy to support Emirati documentary cinema, a form of filmmaking that delves into the nation\u2019s collective memory, documents oral <\/span>tales<\/span> and folk narratives, and transforms them into a permanent visual archive.<\/span> We have revitalised the Al Owais Film Club to serve as a platform for screening and discussing Emirati, Arab and international films, and as a bridge between filmmakers and audiences, and between the past and the future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Abdul Hamid Ahmad continued: \u201cOur recognition tonight of the film\u2019s protagonist and director with the Al Owais<\/span>Foundation\u2019s<\/span> commemorative shield<\/span> is a tribute to an entire generation that brought joy to people at a time when resources were limited. It is also a tribute to an accomplished Emirati filmmaker of Nasser Al Dhaheri\u2019s stature, who succeeded in capturing this story and giving it both cinematic and human dimensions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Al Owais Film Club\u2019s upcoming activities will be even more diverse and far-reaching, reflecting our firm belief that supporting cinema means supporting our national identity<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Produced in 2025, the 85-minute documentary has been screened at several international film festivals, attracting considerable attention for documenting the life of one of the most enduring figures in the region\u2019s collective memory.<\/span> The film chronicles his famous feats of strength, including breaking rocks, allowing cars to drive over his hands, pulling vehicles with his hair, lifting weights with his teeth, lying on broken glass and even lifting a donkey with his teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

T<\/span>he legend<\/span> hero<\/span>, Ali bin Hassan<\/span>,<\/span> was given the title \u201cSamson of Arabia\u201d by the late King Hussein bin Talal of Jordan and \u201cSamson the Mighty\u201d by the late Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser. However, he chose the former as his official name, which was subsequently recorded on his identity card and passport.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
