The Island
ActionDrama
Mansour El-Hefny’s wealthy family rule an Upper Egyptian island. Some police officers facilite their arms dealing in exchange for information, and corrupt parliament members use their immunity to par-take in their drug trade.
VIBE
A grim, unflinching look at the rot of corruption festering in plain sight. It feels like a slow descent into a world where power and crime are inextricably linked, leaving a bitter taste of cynicism.
