Schools in low-income areas across Egypt often face a host of problems from truancy to poorly equipped class rooms.
This film has been made to encourage schools to mobilize local communities to help them to solve these issues and improve themselves.
The film introduces a structural approach to assessing the problems within a school and presents examples of how issues were tackled by schools in Minya and Luxor.

Moulids are religious festivals that celebrate the birthdays of saints or important islamic or christian leaders. Crowds gather in the days leading up to the 'leila kebir' or big night.
Once a year pilgrims descend on the Hussein mosque in Islamic Cairo for one of Egypt's biggest moulids. On the 'leila kebir' (big night) the alleyways of the surrounding Gamaliyya neighborhood are filled with sufi groups from across egypt. Different singers perform to crowds on numerous stages erected in the back streets.
