EXCLUSIVE: A TV drama about Princess Latifa of Dubai, who attempted to escape her life in the Emirates only to be forcibly returned, is in the works from Netflix’s Winter Palace scribe Lindsay Shapero.
Finland’s Yellow Film & TV is developing The Escape, which tells of Latifa’s relationship with her friend Tiina Jauhianen, a Finnish national.
Latifa attempted a daring escape in 2018 involving being hidden in the tyre compartment of a car and a jet-ski ride across the Gulf of Oman but she was forcibly returned to Dubai via a joint Indian-Emirati operation.
