Mohamed Rashad’s ‘The Settlement’ Examines Plight of Workers in Egypt (EXCLUSIVE) Variety 1/8/2021
In his feature film debut, “The Settlement,” writer-director Mohamed Rashad tackles the timely issue of labor abuses in Egypt, a subject that is close to his heart.
Inspired by a true story, the film, set in Alexandria, follows two brothers, the 23-year-old troublemaker Hossam and 12-year-old Maro, who are hired at a blade factory as “compensation” for the accidental death of their father. Aware of the hostile young man’s bad reputation, the factory workers expect him to take revenge on Moustafa, the man responsible for their father’s death, with whom the brothers are forced to work.
