Justice, the first Emirati TV series to stream globally on Netflix.
As the first Emirati actress to star in a film submitted for the Oscars, Al Taei says
it was "an honour" to appear in
Scales.
"The movie is going to be part of history. I wish that it is also a part of the future and encourages more actors and filmmakers here in the UAE, in Saudi Arabia and all the Gulf countries to produce films that can compete in the Oscars," she tells
The National.
"The film talks about the changing roles of women in society from the time Hayat is born, from the challenges she faces to expectations she has from the society and her family. Each woman in the movie goes through a different struggle and conveys powerful emotions."
