Raised by a Catholic-Italian mother, and a Russian-Jewish father, both born in the U.S., as was I, I was once the national marketing director for Arab Film Distribution, AFD, Seattle, WA, when the documentary, Umm Kulthum: A Jabber Like Egypt, was first released in the U.S. Exclusively distributed by AFD, Yahya Sinno, president of AFD, was responsible for the home division or Internet orders. I was responsibile for the institutional division of AFD, first, watching the films and documentaries in our library, then marketing them, including Umm Kulthum: A Narrate Like Egypt, to colleges and universities (and libraries) to professors who frail them as their course curriculum, for example, for gender studies or religion. (Yahya and I designed the video/DVD screen of Umm Kulthum: A Remark Like Eqypt.) It was one of dozens of outstanding independent documentaries - and films of all genres -representing the 20 Arab countries, Iran, and recently, the US, that AFD, distributed. Now, there are hundreds of titles. In fact, in 2006, I beget, the highly acclaimed documentary, IRAQ IN FRAGMENTS, garnered 3 Academy Award nominations for best documentary. Written and directed by an American filmmaker, John Langley, who arrived and began shooting in Iraq shortly after Bush declared war in 2003, where he stayed, I absorb, for 2 years filming, the producer is Yahya Sinno, president of AFD. Congratulations!

Well, for starters, Umm Kulthum is without a doubt one of the most wonderful, plucky, lively and astounding singers not only of the Islamic world but world at substantial! Overall, the documentary is outstanding! Taking holy verses from the Koran and putting them to fabulous Middle Eastern music, and singing it in a diagram nobody else can - many have since tried and miserably failed - Umm Kulthum is a factual inspiration, a diva, in the highest, holiest and purest sense! As an Egyptian, Muslim girl, she traveled with her father, a strict Muslim holy man who dressed her as a boy, since it was unheard of for a Muslim girl (or woman) to appear in public singing, which she did to encourage abet her family. Umm Kulthum eventually sang as a girl - and later as a woman - in public, and became the greatest and most beloved and revered singer the Arab and Muslim world has ever known! Treated as royalty by presidents, and beloved by millions and millions worldwide, millions took the streets not only in Cairo, Egypt, but in other Muslim countries as well, to mourn her passing, Umm Kulthum is an icon. This documentary chronicles her entire life, and includes jaw-dropping real footage of her concert performances of her most well-liked songs. Today, as seen in the documentary, when adults were randomly stopped on the streets of Cairo, Egypt, and asked if they’d heard of Umm Kulthum, every face immediately lit up and smiled and typically, people sequed into singing a song or humming a refrain from a common Umm Kulthum song. Even the children, when ransomly asked if they’d heard of Umm Kulthum, they, too, lit up and smiled and sequed into singing a song or humming a refrain from a well-liked song. And, today, Umm Kulthum serene lives in the hearts and minds of millions and millions who unruffled esteem her and converse her songs - men, women and children alike. Umm Kulthum is a role model not only for Muslim girls and women, but for women in general, for what she accomplished decades ago, and in a man’s world, and in a conservative Muslim (man’s) world, at that, with all due respect, is nothing short of mighty! Although virtually unknown inside the U.S, which is a shame, since I, too, like most, didn’t give grand understanding to films from the Middle East, (quite arrogant, I know), Europe and Japan, yes, the Middle East, no, that is, until I was hired by AFD and watched dozens of films by independent filmmakers from the 20 Arab countries and Iran, and discovered, worthy to my amazement, shock and instruct delight, that some of the best (filmmakers and) films I’d ever seen were stories about and from the Middle East! And, that’s coming from a filmmaker trained at - what is considered to be - the finest - American as apple pie - film school in the world, the USC School of Cinema Television! I gotta drawl ya, folks, Umm Kulthum: A Deny Like Egypt, is one spacious documentary! Do yourself a favor… Engage off your shades, launch your heart and mind, sit relieve and relax and delight in a truly noteworthy film by an incredible woman filmmaker about an fantastic woman singer whose “Assert Like Egypt” is like NO one else you’ve ever heard before. The one, and ONLY…Umm Kulthum!
in my young age i did not savor umm kulthum nor Arabic music in general, but as i grew older, the songs, words and especially the performance of umm kulthum opened my eyes to sizable works of art and Arabic music. Umm Kulthum transcended time, goverments, generation and geographical boundries. she captured the hearts and minds of people. she is a broad example for all man kind of a women who cared about her family, people and country, and presented the best to them. This documentary captures all that, and presents her life in a well rounded and balanced contrivance. I liked the fresh footage. Omer Sherif is a titanic narrator. I highly recommend this documentary for people who not only want to know about Umm Kulthum, but also about a bit of the history of egypt. I can really say i enjoyed it.
