About this title
Saad Nadim assembles artwork and pictorial sequences to evoke Nubian daily life, customs, and memory at a moment of dramatic upheaval — the planned inundation and relocation of roughly 50,000 Nubians during the Aswan High Dam project. The film functions as an ethnographic tribute and a visual record of a community uprooted by state modernization efforts.
