About Qaher El Zalam
The film tells the story of the life of Ambed Arab literature Taha Hussein since his childhood in one of the villages of Minya, where he was able to overcome all difficulties despite being blind to leave his mark on literature, cultural scene and the educational system.
Directed by Atef Salem, Qaher El Zalam leans on a strong ensemble — Mahmoud Yassin, Yolande Folliot, Hamdy Ahmed — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1979.
