Review of The Land

The Revolt of the Waters During the dictatorship of King Fuad, in Egypt, who reduced the powers of parliament and ruled in almost absolute power, with military support from the British, a group of peasants is dragged into a conflict with a high government official who intends to occupy their land to build a road to his new palace.

This is the story of a revolt by a handful of peasants, destined for defeat, and how some defended their land to the death, while others made a pact with corrupt power.

This is a universal story of power, corruption, character and popular resistance. A beautiful film.
