Not quite Priscilla, but Nicole Kidman stars in Queen of the Desert, a feature film on SBS by director Werner Herzog on British traveller, writer, archaeologist, explorer, cartographer and political officer Gertrude Bell.
It also features James Franco, Damian Lewis and Robert Pattinson.
The film failed at the box office in 2017 but Kidman was praised for her performance.
The story of Queen of the Desert is based on the true-life story of Gertrude Bell, who was a
British political officer and archaeologist but ultimately a trailblazer on her terms. The story details the extraordinary adventures of Bell wrestling with the conflicts of love and tragedy, enemy and friend, and foreign and familiar as she sought to understand and unify people from different cultures.
8:35pm Thursday on SBS.
