Daily News Egypt Article

The Daily News in Egypt, has published an excellent feature on the film today. I agreed to do the interview because I feel it is critical to begin discussions in the nations where this film comes from.

The feature is located at Film director explores homosexuality in the Muslim world

I know the paper has a readership-but how much it penetrates the Egyptian masses is debatable. For the expats in Egypt and the English newspaper reading elite it is always found in the lobbies of five star hotels, where entry is only gained after passing metal detectors thoughtfully supplied by Mubarak and Friends.

THERE IS A COMMENTS SECTION AT THE END OF THE PAGE ON THE DAILY NEWS WEBSITE. LETS FILL IT UP!

This is how The Daily News describes itself on their website.
