About Abo Dahab
Abo Dahab is a poor baker who goes to prison instead of his corrupted boss. When he gets out, he discovers that his employer did not fulfill his promise by supporting his family during his incarceration so he assaults him and gets fired from his job. While unemployed, Abo Dahab meets Haridi a drug dealer who hires him and later on gets killed by him and becomes one of the richest drug dealers.
Directed by Kariem Diaa Aldeen, Abo Dahab leans on a strong ensemble — Ahmed Zaki, Raghda, Esaad Younes — 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 1996.
