Egypt | 2023

Using innovative masking technology to hide the identities of the people he meets, Ahmed Shihab-Eldin navigates the complex online and real-life world of two people who identify as queer who have been repeatedly targeted by a gang with violent viral video humiliations and police arrests. Forced to choose between sex work and asylum, Jamal chooses to stay and Laila chooses to go.
