Wikipedia article'The Nile and the Life' (Egyptian Arabic: translit: 'Al Nil wal Hayah') is a 1968 Egyptian-Soviet film starring Salah Zulfikar and directed by Youssef Chahine. PlotThe film painted a picture of Egyptian society, as well as Soviet workers upon embarking on the dangerous project of building the High Dam. The film presents a vision of a nation deeply rooted in unity, as well as diversity. The film also presents a vision of a renewed image of the Egyptian nation, and inadvertently acknowledges a new understanding of its political goals and objectives, and how this affects the person within it. ProductionIn 1964, the Egyptian General Corporation for Cinema and Television had commissioned director Youssef Chahine to direct a huge colorful film glorifying the project of building the High Dam, but after the filming of the first film (The Nile and the Life) was finished in 1968, the General Film Organization rejected it, as opposed to the Russian side. The film was not shown in Egypt or abroad, then the film was later shown in France and was admired by the French audience and eventually shown Egypt as well and earned critical recognition.
