They have their own set of rules, ethics and traditions. They also plant drugs and buy arms from Sudan. The officer in charge of the region turns a blind eye to these happenings, and in the beginning, the government takes no heed of the Island. At the start of the film, we witness the death of the old \u0027Kabir el Gezira\u0027 (the island\u0027s ruler), leaving the land to his son Mansour. The first half follows Mansour as he takes control of his land and must deal with a band of other drug lords who are greedy to take control of the island. The second half of the film deals with the political conflict. It follows the government\u0027s side of things (which finally decides to take action) at the same time as Mansour\u0027s side as the two react to each other\u0027s threats and the conflict escalates. \u0027El Gezira\u0027 is a multi-genre picture. It is a thematic film on Egyptian politics, but also a drama, romance, action and thriller.","wins":2,"nominations":0,"casts":[{"name":"Mahmoud Yassine","code":"nm1665526","characters":"The old \u0027Kabir\u0027"},{"name":"Ahmed el-Sakka","code":"nm1012570","characters":"Mansoor el-Hifni"},{"name":"Hind Sabri","code":"nm0754906","characters":"Karimah"},{"name":"Zeina","code":"nm3093855","characters":"Fayqah"},{"name":"Mohamed Ibrahim","code":"nm13062125","characters":"Nour Elqons"},{"name":"Basem Samrah","code":"nm0760234","characters":"Hasan el-Hifni"},{"name":"Khaled El-Sawi","code":"nm0252753","characters":"Rushdi"},{"name":"Mahmoud Abdulmoghni","code":"nm1940834","characters":"Tareq"},{"name":"Asser Yassin","code":"nm3193878","characters":"Mahmood Nageh"},{"name":"Hamdi Abbas","code":"nm9824525","characters":null},{"name":"Ashraf Abdulfadhil","code":"nm8193999","characters":null},{"name":"Muhyiddin Abdulmuhsen","code":"nm14260938","characters":"Haridi"},{"name":"Muhammad Abdulraziq","code":"nm11628000","characters":null},{"name":"Abdulnaser Abu-Bakr","code":"nm14260946","characters":null},{"name":"Muhammad Abu-Isa","code":"nm14260951","characters":null},{"name":"Izzat Abu-Of","code":"nm0008867","characters":"Gamal"},{"name":"Muhammad Abul-Shabab","code":"nm14260943","characters":null},{"name":"Hesham Ali","code":"nm13757916","characters":null}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":{"amount":255581,"currency":"USD"},"keywords":[{"text":"gezira"},{"text":"drugs"},{"text":"politics"},{"text":"community"},{"text":"upper egypt"}],"production":[{"id":"co0123150","text":"Al-Nasr Films"},{"id":"co0207796","text":"El Massah Video Film"},{"id":"co0123151","text":"Oscar for Distribution and Movie Theatres"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[{"code":"tt4067084","title":"The Island 2"},{"code":"tt2224167","title":"The Deal"},{"code":"tt1459040","title":"Ibrahim El-Abyad"},{"code":"tt0417202","title":"Tito"},{"code":"tt0424986","title":"The Headmaster"},{"code":"tt1650844","title":"Escaping Tel Aviv"},{"code":"tt2244947","title":"Can\u0027t Complain"},{"code":"tt2210425","title":"1000 Congratulations"},{"code":"tt1282371","title":"Sorry to Disturb"},{"code":"tt2210441","title":"Bittersweet"},{"code":"tt1699195","title":"You Fly"},{"code":"tt1920997","title":"No Retreat, No Surrender"}]}
