A revolutionary’s rise, exile, and return—told through a docudrama that confronts history’s conflicting truths.

This 70‑minute docudrama traces the tumultuous life of Ahmed Urabi, the Egyptian officer who led an 1881 uprising against the Khedive and British influence. Blending dramatic re‑enactments narrated by Urabi himself with interviews from historians and political analysts, the film weaves a dual narrative: personal memoir versus historical critique. Viewers follow Urabi’s defiance in Cairo, his confrontation with colonial power, his years of exile in Ceylon, and his eventual return—invited to weigh heroism against disobedience and draw their own conclusions about a man who reshaped Egypt’s political landscape.
