This
powerful drama from Egypt speaks of sexual harassment that woman faces day by
day and how the majority of society reacts to them. Not to mention that it’s
shameful to be seeing by men knowing that men has the sole power and control to
eliminate this situation around the globe yet men don’t choose to do so. And in
a society where woman pays the price for every harassment she goes through and
their silent cries get disappears in the breeze. 678 will open up your mind to
this ugly truth and the director has done a good job at making the message
clear.
In a
world dominated by men the voice of women is hardly heard. In some regions of
the world (Including ours) woman has less opportunities to follow their dreams
and live an honorable and an independent life. And many become tools of selfish
men and harassment is not a rare thing.
678
is well directed. It is packed with strong acting by several lead characters
mainly female. Though its storyline may seems a bit too coincident based it is
loosely grounded on some events that took place in Egypt that led to
controversial changes in law systems of the country.
It
is not a surprise that the movie faced with controversy and several attempts of
blocking of screening at cinema festivals etc. However it is to be understood
that the subject is universal but not only limited to Egypt. 678 will give the viewers
a fresh look at a silently burning issue and it is very heart felt.
