Souad is a traditional young Egyptian girl in secondary school who just sat her Baccalaureate exams. Like her neighbourhood girlfriends, she is hoping to study at university, get married and start a family. Being a pious Muslim girl, Souad spends the school holidays at home praying and enjoying carefree conversations with her sister and friends. This mundane life reflects just one side of Souad\u2019s character. In a parallel world fabricated on Facebook pages, Souad has an alternative \u2018persona\u2019 as a flirtatious woman in a relationship with Ahmed (Hussein Ghanem) an older man from exotic Alexandria. Virtual reality allows Souad to enjoy the thrills of first love without guilt or shame; in one encounter Souad does not agree to meet Ahmed outside her school yet continues to exchange messages with him for two hours from inside her classroom. A tragic turn of events, that is not fully explained, sees Souad committing suicide. In the following two chapters of the film, we see Rabab meeting Ahmed in Alexandria trying to understand the reasons behind her beloved sister\u2019s demise.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n       .errordiv { padding:10px; margin:10px; border: 1px solid #555555;color: #000000;background-color: #f8f8f8; width:500px; }#advanced_iframe {visibility:visible;opacity:1;}#ai-layer-div-advanced_iframe p {height:100%;margin:0;padding:0}<\/style><script type=\"text\/javascript\">  var ai_iframe_width_advanced_iframe = 0;  var ai_iframe_height_advanced_iframe = 0;var aiIsIe8=false;var aiOnloadScrollTop=\"true\";\r\nif (typeof aiReadyCallbacks === 'undefined') {\r\n    var aiReadyCallbacks = [];  \r\n} else if (!(aiReadyCallbacks instanceof Array)) {\r\n    var aiReadyCallbacks = [];\r\n}    function aiShowIframeId(id_iframe) { jQuery(\"#\"+id_iframe).css(\"visibility\", \"visible\");    }    function aiResizeIframeHeight(height) { aiResizeIframeHeight(height,advanced_iframe); }    function aiResizeIframeHeightId(height,width,id) {aiResizeIframeHeightById(id,height);}<\/script><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"advanced_iframe\"  name=\"advanced_iframe\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I2XM8NzC-SY\"  width=\"560\"  height=\"315\"  frameborder=\"0\"  border=\"0\"  allowtransparency=\"true\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\"  style=\";width:560;height:315;\" ><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var ifrm_advanced_iframe = document.getElementById(\"advanced_iframe\");var hiddenTabsDoneadvanced_iframe = false;\r\nfunction resizeCallbackadvanced_iframe() {}function aiChangeUrl(loc) {}<\/script>\n<p>Every year on the 10<sup>th<\/sup> of September, the World Suicide Prevention Day calls for increased awareness around suicide with a mission of creating a world where fewer people die by suicide. The motto for 2021-2023 is \u2018Creating Hope Through Action\u2019. The Day champions simple acts that fight off despair and instil hope such as: \u201cReaching out for a coffee with a best mate, taking a walk in the fields and letting the wind blow everything away, or go for a run along the seafront.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The film portrays those simple human connections poignantly in its verit\u00e9-style narrative; one scene over the Stanley Bridge by Alexandria seafront where Rabab and Ahmed meet reflects Rabab\u2019s trauma when she says: \u201cI wish I would never fall in love\u201d. Rabab believes that her sister\u2019s untimely death was brought on by Souad falling in love with the wrong man.<\/p>\n<p>The reasons behind suicide in young women in Egypt are multifactorial; family pressure on students to secure high grades in Baccalaureate exams to get into university, and failed romantic relationships are quoted as frequent reasons behind such tragedies.<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a><sup>,<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>By using non-professional actors as the film protagonists, Amin maintains an authentic approach to her story-telling style. Emotional yet subtle and non-sentimental, insightful yet non-judgemental, poetic yet realistic, <em>\u2018Souad\u2019<\/em> poses more questions than answers about the lives of adolescent girls in rural Egyptian cities. The fascination of these young impressionable girls with the brutal world of \u2018social media\u2019, the emotional trauma they endure as well as the legacy of suffering of their families and friends are all sensitively observed details. Religious, social, and cultural factors all play a role in shaping the response of bereaved families of girls who commit suicide; in a candid scene Souad\u2019s aunt reassures a relative over the phone that Souad died a virgin as confirmed in the post-mortem report by the forensic doctors. However, Ayten Amin and script co-writer Mahmoud Ezzat do not demonise Souad\u2019s family or Ahmed who are bound by grief and mourning, and equally devastated by Souad\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p>The film lingers in one\u2019s mind long after the end credits roll; Souad is more than a figure or a statistic in government reports; she was a young woman full of life, hopes and dreams. Not only Ahmed, Rabab and her family need to recover from Souad\u2019s agonising death, but a whole society also needs to talk openly about such tragic loss of lives. Only then can closure and healing take place.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Works Cited<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> World Suicide Prevention Day, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samaritans.org\/support-us\/campaign\/world-suicide-prevention-day\/\">https:\/\/www.samaritans.org\/support-us\/campaign\/world-suicide-prevention-day\/<\/a> , accessed 22<sup>nd<\/sup> August 2021.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref2\" name=\"_ftn2\">[2]<\/a> Nancy M Zaghloul and Haidy M Megahed.
