Drama-like-Reality
Interesting experience and serious attempt to deeply understand the reality of communities of different cultures, with a critical eye and vision and artistic vision of the dramas with its various type as we can not be certain that drams are able to present the reality of communities to the audience with all its problems and phenomenons so it is drama-like-reality.
Women's union is glad to host all ones who interested in communities issues generally, women issues in particular to watch and discuss dramas which affected the history of drama , according to the movie club project the founded by Egyptian feminist union.
