Eagles of the Republic

George Fahmy, Egypt’s most famed and adored leading man, is a man who has come to enjoy the finer things in life – all the luxuries his large salary has afforded him over the years.

But when he’s approached by the country’s highest authorities to star in a propaganda film about the president’s rise to power, the life he knows is threatened if he refuses their call.

Drawn into a spider’s web of lies, spies and deception of the inner circle of power, George finds himself unable to escape the spindly snare of tyranny in all its forms.

'A satire with a dissident energy and a dark denouement, it’s an Armando Iannucci-esque send-up of something deadly serious' - Philip De Semlyen, Time Out
