- Summary:
- Prince Abdullah of Jordan was thrust into power when his father, King Hussein, died from cancer. Since then, he and his young queen, Rania, have emerged as strong voices for change in the Arab and Islamic world. Travel with the King in Jordan as he climbs into his helicopter or his bullet-proof car to check on the projects that matter to him. The Queen addresses issues like empowering poor women and the country's youth, both at home and on the international stage. And both King and Queen share their thoughts on camera about the challenge of balancing their roles as husband and wife, parents, and monarchs.
