The story of Shah Malika Al-Kamilah, a purebred Arabian filly (Golden Cross Egyptian-Arabian-Spanish) is now legend across the planet. In California (USA) it happens that, following an injection, the filly Al-Kamila breaks her spine and is destined to die. Hon. Esq. Angela Alioto, the leading lawyer in the USA and an internationally popular public figure for her humanitarian actions, against the advice of any surgeon in the world, has the surgery performed on Al-Kamilah’s spine, which is paralyzed , at UC Davis. The hope of salvation for the Al-Kamilah life , is almost zero. Angela Alioto spreads a blessed and beneficial ointment on Al-Kamilah’s paws. Al-Kamilah begins to move his paws and wins the love and care of all doctors, all her friends and the “AL-KAMILAH” case explodes on social media. The filly improves, but must undergo a second operation to remove the nails and cement that contributed to the strengthening of the spine. It’s another delicate operation. Angela Alioto’s apprehension is strong and Angela spreads the blessed ointment on Al-Kamilah’s paws again. Gian-Paolo Veronese, Angela’s youngest son, who has always been close to Al-Kamilah strongly hopes that everything goes well and so does Fabio Giotta, Angela’s partner. Finally the medical verdict: Al-Kamila is safe! Social media worldwide is exploding with messages of happiness. Messages of congratulations arrive from all over the USA, Europe , Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. In Italy, the most authoritative official newspaper “Il Corriere della Sera” publishes on its front page the news that Al-Kamilah is safe. Samantha Ferro, famous Italian-American journalist in SF, is happy about it . https://video.corriere.it/animali/kamilah-la-puledra-miracolosa-il-trailer-del-documentario/1a6b26ce-edac-11ee-8deb-6faf828a47a7 , https://www.corriere.it/animali/24_marzo_29/la-storia-di-kamilah-la-puledra-miracolosa-la-prima-cavalla-al-mondo-che-si-e-rotta-la-spina-dorsale-ed-e-tornata-a-correre-d50f23f1-8ccc-4dfd-830b-773742d07xlk.shtml Of course all this makes Sheikh Hamad Ali Al-Thani happy, who directing Al Shaqab Stud became one of the most important and influential horse breeding programs in the world. https://www.arabhorse.com/sheikh-hamad-bin-ali-al-thani-a-personal-profile. At this point there is another great news: the famous director Christopher A. Salvador directs the docu-film: “Al-Kamilah, the miracle filly” and the super star Joe Mantegna is the voice over of the film ! Angela Alioto, in the film, expresses her irresistible human energy, imbued with universal love. A film, of the highest quality, which certainly deserves one or more Academy Awards in 2025. The film, which will be shown in private VIP screening in SF on June 21, at Vogue Theatre , will participate in the major international festivals and hopefully also in the Al-Gouna International Film Festival, founded by the Sawiris brothers and directed by Marianne Khoury , niece of late great Egyptian director Youssef Chahine. Certainly a film directed so grandly by Christopher A. Salvador, H.R.H. Sheikha Al-Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani who is chairperson of the Doha Film Institute , might like “ Al-Kamilah , the miracle filly “ film very much. The film institute of Doha partnered with the Tribeca Film Festival to produce several annual iterations of the Doha Tribeca Film Festival. A fabulous sculpture of Al-Kamilah by Mario Chiodo, will be unveiled in SF on June 21st and a book by Angela Alioto on the Al-Kamilah is being published.
