Al-Gama'a

Al-Gama'a is an Egyptian television drama, Historical and Political drama series written by Wahid Hamid, directed by Mohammed Yasin and produced by Kamel Abu Ali. The series began filming in January 2010 with a budget of 50 million Egyptian pounds. The show deals with the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s largest Islamist political group, which was officially banned but nonetheless tolerated to an extent before the revolution. Critics have decried the show's pro-government stance, charging that it plays into the Egyptian government's agenda prior to the 2010 Egyptian parliamentary elections.

Directed by Wahid Hamid, Al-Gama'a leans on a strong ensemble — Eyad Nassar, Mahmoud El-Bezzawy, Sabrien — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about war & politics titles of 2010.
