Arab drama did not benefit much from the waves of Arab immigration abroad during the past years. Many big names in production and directing did not leave the Arab world.
The series "London Batch" depicts the lives of Arab students living in London to study medicine. It caused an uproar after its launch last month over accusations of portraying Iraqis in an inappropriate light, and the Kuwaiti Ministry of Information intervened on the controversy. It is one of the series expressing the drama of Arabs in the diaspora, specifically the city of London.
