In honour of the 100th anniversary of her death, Letters from Baghdad, our documentary about Gertrude Bell will be broadcast by BBC Four and screened at numerous theaters in the coming weeks Please visit the theater websites for times and tickets.
Gertrude Bell was an explorer, spy, archaeologist and diplomat who helped shape the Middle East after World War I and established the Iraq Museum, infamously ransacked in 2003. July 14th is Bell’s birthday, and July 12th, marks the 100th anniversary of her death in Baghdad.
