2015

Director, Producer, DOP

A quiet, urgent portrait of Sudanese refugees in Egypt—and the violence, poverty, and exploitation they face every day.

A Stranger in The North of The Valley unveils the harsh realities experienced by Sudanese immigrants and asylum seekers living in Egypt. Fleeing conflict and poverty, many of them find themselves trapped again—this time in systems of racism, neglect, and exploitation. The film follows several families over time, exposing daily injustices including poor healthcare access, police abuse, and even the horrors of organ trafficking.

With a restrained and humanistic camera, the documentary brings to light the resilience of a community ignored by both global media and local authorities. This is not just a crisis—it’s a quiet catastrophe still unfolding.
