| Summary: | Undercover Egypt is a one-hour documentary that follows journalist Natasha Wheatley as she returns to Egypt to explore controversial topics including gender roles, politics, and sexuality. Beautifully shot and analytically directed, explore Egypt - a country where worlds collide, and modern life merges with traditions that date back to the time of the pharaohs. The recent revolution was a demand for change that crossed all divides of class, religion, and gender, but the consequences of stepping outside of tradition and hierarchy create deadly political and family rifts. This journey, while investigative and political, is also charming and heart-breakingly personal. Undercover Egypt takes us on an unusual journey through the personal lives of Egyptians and their perspectives of their society's expectations. A complex assortment of personal stories are beautifully woven together to show a unique and hugely topical side to Egypt; a perspective that exposes harsh truths around sexual harassment and the modern difficulties of inequality between the sexes.
