"Young, Female, Egyptian"
by Alexandra Schneider, Austria 2013
English/Arab (Ger sub & Engl sub) / 90 min
Completion: Summer 2013
Five young Egyptian women with different social background smartly fight for their ideals and rights. For one year we follow their everyday lives and their struggle in post-revolutionary Egypt where everything is changing. By doing so the Austrian all-female film team is confronted with their Western clichés about Arabic women and the Arab world in general.
