Brief & Concept

The Opposite Direction (Arabic: الاتجاه المعاكس) is a debate TV show handling current events in the Middle East and the Arab world. 

The topics, mostly political, economic or social, are discussed by two guests representing contrary opinions of the specific case. 

Reinterpreting the two opposition parties in an abstract way, the opener presents the various situations the two confronting guests may go through during the show. Together with a talented team, I had the pleasure to create this piece and some additional assets starting from in-depth concept development up until the final delivery.
