Cannes 2022: Filmmaker Tarik Saleh takes us inside the epicentre of power of Sunni Islam

ENCORE! © FRANCE 24

Risk-taking director Tarik Saleh and the stars of his film competing at Cannes, Fares Fares and Tawfeek Barhom, speak to Eve Jackson about their potentially explosive political spy thriller "Boy From Heaven". The Swedish-Egyptian filmmaker delves into the underbelly of modern Egypt and the Arab world at large. It’s a bold piece of work that poses questions about the corruption of Egypt's religious and state institutions.
