Microphone
€0.00
An urban musical drama that looks into the thriving arts underground in Alexandria, a historic city that is little seen in Egyptian movies. Presenting a microcosm of the youth of the Arab spring – and interweaving actors with actual filmmakers, graffiti artists, skateboarders and hip hop musicians – Microphone is an intriguing portrait of a vibrant subculture, studded with dazzling performances.
