Film on normalization with Israel

Work has begun on the first Egyptian movie on the normalization of Arab ties with Israel, after several changes were made by the media censorship department.

The film's director, Ehab Radhi said that the film theme "Shadow of the Martyr" emerged from his interest in key regional developments. The film poses questions about whether Arabs prefer normalization with Israel, which currently has adopted an extremist policy.

The movie begins after the reclaimation of the Egyptian city of Taba, earlier occupied by Israel.
