The film follows Bell's life chronologically, from her early twenties till her death. . . . Kidman, talking about her role, said, 'She's the female Lawrence of Arabia. She was English, and basically defined the borders between Iraq and Jordan that exist today, borders that she negotiated between Churchill and different Arab leaders. She went out to the desert with the Bedouin and all the different tribes that were feuding at the turn of the 20th century.'" [Wikipedia]
