In the Shadow of a Man

In the wake of the Egyptian revolution, four women speak of their fight for the future and what it means to be a woman in Egypt. Hanan Abdalla’s documentary weaves through their worlds as they tell us their stories of marriage, divorce, love and resistance, mirroring their lives with Egypt’s greater struggle for freedom and self-determination.
