Men Underneath the Fez - Season 1

Men Under the Fez is a Syrian ensemble drama that explores the quiet gap between public virtue and private behaviour. Set in a society where educated, “progressive” men speak fluently about equality and modern values, the series gradually reveals the contradictions in their personal lives — and the emotional cost carried by the women closest to them. Through intersecting stories of marriages, desire, hypocrisy and self-deception, it offers a sharp, often uncomfortable portrait of everyday patriarchy. Directed by Hisham Sharbatji, starring Khaled Taja and Karess Bashar.

North of 60

North of 60 is a mid-1990s Canadian television series depicting life in the sub-Arctic northern boreal forest. It first aired on CBC Television in 1992 and was syndicated around the world. It is set in the fictional community of Lynx River, a primarily Native-run town depicted as being in the Dehcho Region, Northwest Territories. Most of the characters were Dene. Some non-native characters had important roles: the restaurant/motel owner, the band manager, the nurse and the town's main RCMP officer. The show explored themes of Native poverty, alcoholism, cultural preservation and conflict over land settlements and natural resource exploitation. Originally somewhat light-hearted, it quickly became a more dramatic and ponderous series.
