Summary

Werner Herzog brings to life the extraordinary story of a trailblazing woman who found freedom in the faraway world of the Middle East. In turn-of-the-century England, Gertrude Bell rebels against the stifling rigidity of life, leaving it behind for a chance to travel to Tehran. There, she begins a lifelong adventure across the Arab world, a journey marked by danger, a passionate affair with a British officer, and an encounter with the legendary T.E. Lawrence.
