Medina Wasl: Connecting Town (2018) was shot at various sites in the California desert that resemble Middle Eastern towns, including those designed specifically to mirror the Middle East for US military training. One of these mock villages, Medina Wasl, located at Fort Irwin National Military Training Center in California’s Mojave Desert, has become a tourist destination where the public can visit and witness troops engaging in simulated battles.

The film is a collaboration of the artist Ekaterina Shapiro-Obermair and the historian Alexandra Wachter.
