The Pearl: The World's Most Luxurious Island

Behind the luxury of The Pearl Island in Doha are the people who keep it running: residents, chefs, workers and engineers. This four-part documentary follows their lives as Qatar prepares to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Filmed over a year, the series moves between the island's pearl-trading history and the rush of World Cup preparations, finding quieter moments among the property, hospitality and celebrations.
