[Stopwar-l] Reel Causes film series at Langara

[StopWar]

The following is a message from Mohamed Ehab, Director/founder of REEL CAUSES, a non-profit project that organizes monthly film screening events to support different charities/causes:

Tomorrow we have a special screening of one of the Egyptian political comedies to support the victims of the uprising in Egypt.

I am thinking that the event might be of interest to Stop war members, if you want to forward it to the group on Face book.

Thank you and best regards.

Plot 
Terrorism and Barbecue is a masterpiece that reflects the successful collaboration between actor Adel Imam and screenwriter Wahid Hamed in the early 1990's. The plot is about an honest and decent citizen named Ahmed who works two jobs to support his family, cannot buy meat because it's too expensive for lower middle and working class Egyptians and has to use the over packed public transportation every day. Ahmed accidently takes hostages at a government building. The government treats Ahmed as a terrorist...

Reviews 
"This movie is a really great introduction to Egyptian cinema. Many aspects of the movie's humor easily transfer to English audiences. We can all share the frustration with bureaucracy and the humor in stock characters. This movie is an interesting examination of the issues of Egyptian society and modernization. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in contemporary culture in Egypt."--Time Out Magazine

"A complete outstanding Egyptian triumph, which deserves dozens of awards!!! a controversial script from the brave Wahid Hamed. magnificent performances. a classic black political comedy that would make you laugh to tears".-- AL Ahram Weekly
