The many faces of the Egyptian government, a must-see...


I like it when films shake the foundations of real life supremacy, this film is one of them. The subject matter is a hot topic and very controversial, which is why Tarik Saleh, the filmmaker, is persona non grata in Egypt, and the film was shot in Turkey although it is meant to portray the Azhar Mosque.
This is the story of Adam, the son of a fisherman who gets a letter of approval from the Azhar mosque to join their ranks, coincidentally the Imam. Trouble is brewing in the heels of appointing the next Imam!
