Eagles of the Republic

Initially, popular Egyptian movie star George Fahmy (Fares Fares) dismissed the government's interest in having him play President Sisi in a biopic about his role in Morsi's overthrow. He'd quickly learn that was the wrong response, as retaliatory pressure was put on himself, family, and colleagues... and even after signing on to the film, the intrigues would continue escalating in danger. Tarik Saleh's Istanbul-shot effort co-stars Lyna Khoudri, Amr Waked, Zineb Triki, Cherien Dabis 128 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Arabic; Subtitles: English; theatrical trailer. In Arabic with English subtitles.
