Out on the Street

Out on the Street features nine men who participate in a workshop set on a rooftop. Throughout the film, they perform scenarios that address encounters with the police and challenges in the workplace. The actors navigate a space that blurs the lines between theatrical performance and real-life experiences.

This 71-minute documentary does not focus solely on workers but rather uses the factory as a microcosm to represent broader societal themes within Egypt. The work of director Jasmina Metwaly brings a woman's perspective to the film, contributing to its distinct narrative voice. Collectors interested in documentaries that highlight social issues and the power of performance may find this film particularly engaging.
