NOTES
Directed by Reem Saleh
'One big family' is how Um Ghareeb describes her 'al Gami'ya' community in one of Cairo's poorest districts. Driven by the women who rule the roost, all members regularly contribute a small amount of money into a pot. At weekly meetings, a collective decision is made as to how to share it. Reem Saleh spent six years following this colourful community, revealing their daily struggle for survival and touching solidarity in an inhospitable world
