Run(a)Way Arab (2018)

Nazeem, a 26 year old Middle Eastern drag queen who performs under the name Queen Za Dream is preparing her latest Egyptian themed show. She recalls memories of her childhood as an 8 year-old boy when a transgressive moment broke the seemingly close bond with her flamboyant Iraqi-Egyptian mother, Halima who is governed by the strict expectations of gender in Arab society. Only though his drag can the adult Nazeem keep sacred the memories of his mother before this painful moment.
