The construction of the Aswan dam as seen by those who took part in it: engineers, workers, Egyptians, and Soviets.

Movie - 1968, 2h 15m • Main Cast Role

Renegotiating the representational paradigm of nationhood the film draws a heterogeneous picture of Egyptian society as well as Soviet workers as they embarked on the momentous dam enterprise. The films presents a vision of a nation deep rooted in unity as well as diversity. The films projection of a renewed imagining of the nation inadvertently acknowledges a new and nuanced understanding of its goals, political objectives, and how these impact the personal within it.
