Special Screening of the Film "Free Trip to Egypt"

Free Trip to Egypt takes audiences on a remarkable journey, in which an unlikely group of travellers to the Middle East find themselves transformed by the power of human connection.

Tarek Mounib, a Canadian-Egyptian entrepreneur living in Switzerland, is troubled by a world that seems ever more divided and polarised. In response to increasing levels of anger and hatred towards “the other” on American social and broadcast media, he resolves to reach out to the very people who fear his culture, with an intriguing idea - a free trip to Egypt.

As he travels across America from Manhattan to a Trump Rally in Kentucky, the initial reactions range from disbelief to hostility, but eventually, a diverse group is selected. These individuals are a cross-section of contemporary America: including a teacher, a police officer, a Marine veteran, a single mom, a preacher and a beauty pageant queen. All have their preconceptions but all are receptive and courageous enough to embark on the adventure of a lifetime.
