Sins of the Flesh

Part of the African Diaspora International Film Festival

This erotic and psychological drama by controversial Egyptian filmmaker Khaled El Hagar is set against the 2011 revolution.

The film confines a tragic story of betrayal, passion, and murder to a remote desert farm, using the events as an allegory for the country's political upheaval and the misuse of power.

Due to its sexually and politically charged content, which challenges strict religious and social standards, the film faced censorship in Egypt and was later banned from being listed or sold on Amazon in the USA.
