678

678 is an intelligent Egyptian drama reflecting on sexual harassment. Three young women from different social backgrounds are united in the fight against this widespread problem in Egyptian society. Fayza hesitates to ride the bus to work as she has to endure being groped by strangers on the crowded line no. 678. Fed up, she seeks out Seba, an upper-class girl who teaches basic self-defense to women. But even she is not safe, and is viciously attacked by a gang of men after a football match. Meanwhile, aspiring stand-up comedian Nelly is brutalized on the street in broad daylight. She proceeds to write history as she takes the matter to court in what is Egypt’s sexual harassment lawsuit. 678 boldly poses questions that the Egyptian society can no longer overlook. kej
