Treasure
Mohammed Al-Suleiti is an avid Qatari fossil and artifacts collector, and claimed to have the largest private museum in the Middle East. Coming from a long line of pearl divers, he was the first in his family to do something else: help manage one of the largest oil platforms in the world. This led his to his passion for amateur archeology, and he's one of the premier experts of Qatar's buried past, even if he doesn't always share it with everyone. This is a small documentary film about him in his home and one cursory expedition he was willing to take me along for.
