Cairo Conspiracy

Cairo Conspiracy    [trailer]

The son of a fisherman is offered the privilege to study at the Al-Azhar University in Cairo, the center of power of Sunni Islam. He becomes a pawn in the conflict between Egypt's religious and political elites.

While I recognised the pictures and posters of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi everywhere, I don't know enough details about this world to judge how real this conflict is.

But that didn't keep me from enjoying this tense political thriller. It's not as epic as A Prophet, but that movie can be used as a reference point. And this one has a more unusual setting.

I continue to enjoy following the career development of Fares Fares.
