Art has always been a reflection of the society. Many things in Egypt have been affected by the drawbacks in economy, politics and finance; so what’s a better way than to see how these drawbacks have affected the Egyptian society, through our Sha’bi songs. This is an audio documentary done by me during the semester of Spring 2013. 2013-05-20T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10526/3524 From mini skirts to veil Khallaf, Yomna Amr This documentary basically is a description of the main reasons behind the transition in Egyptian women’s dressing style from the 1950s till now days; it mainly discusses three main reasons behind the transition. It also clarifies the idea that a sexual harassment, not like a lot of people think, has nothing to do with this transition. 2013-05-20T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10526/3523 Egypt's trains: on track to disaster Irshad, Ghazala Chugging along faulty infrastructure, and driven by corruption, Egypt’s railway system is on track to disaster, with 550 train accidents every year. Horrific deaths, public outrage, and politicians’ promises always follow. But the trains never change course—and it’s the poor who end up paying for a one-way ticket to death. 2013-05-20T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10526/3522 Simply about being happy Elezaby, Mostafa A piece about the musical progress in the life of singer/song writer Ahmed Safi. The documentary covers the rise of singer/song writer Ahmed Safi in the Egyptian underground music scene, as well as the obstacles that have faced him over the years. It is simply a piece about a man who makes his life choices based on the feeling of fulfilment they give him, rather than how much he will make out of them. 2013-05-20T00:00:00Z
