Uk Gala Premiere of award winning documentary

Thu, 11th Mar 2010 - Wed, 31st Mar 2010

On the 11th March 2010 Genesis Entertainment is launching its film distribution arm with the UK Gala premiere of the film ‘ Marina of the Zabbaleen’ – the award winning documentary by film maker Engi Wassef.

The film tells the story of the resourceful Zabbaleen - a marginalized Coptic Christian community of recyclers - whose waste management system produces the highest recycling rate in the world by recycling up to 80% of the 6000 tons of waste produced by the people of Cairo everyday. “ Marina of the Zabbaleen” captures a way of life on film that has since been devastated by the Egyptian government’s decision to slaughter the countries pig population, an integral part of the Zabbaleen’s organic recycling process.

Exhibiting at Genesis for 10 days only will be photographs of the Zabbaleen by Hermann Huber from his book 'Cairo's Zabbaleen'.
