The Emigrant
المهاجر
Overview
The biblical tale of Joseph is told from an Egyptian perspective in this interesting character study. In this film, Joseph is called Ram. Ram, tired of his family's backward superstitious life, and tired of being picked on by his brothers, wants to go to Egypt to study agriculture. His brothers travel with him across Sinai, but then suddenly sell him to Ozir, an Egyptian who works for a Theban military leader, Amihar. Amihar is impressed by Ram's drive and personal charm and so grants Ram some desolate land outside the capital. Ram soon finds himself a pawn in the political and sexual games between Amihar and his wife Simihit, a high priestess of the Cult of Amun.

It is really quite interesting to watch this story from a Egyptian film-makers' perspective. Khaled Nabawy ("Ram") is the favourite son, despised by his older brothers, who ends up working far away for the Commander of Pharoah's bodyguard. He soon ingratiates himself with him, and his visionary, open-minded attitude soon attracts favour from the Pharaoh himself...
