Touching on the personal and the public, the familial and the societal, this documentary will open the door to Egypt's past by unveiling the dark side of Egypt's history of oppression (from the Nasserite era through Mubarak's reign). This documentary tackles the present by investigating the corruption of the public health system and questioning future challenges, in light of the urgent need to rebuild Cairo's infrastructure.
