Abstract | Banned upon its release in Egypt, Chahine's The Sparrow views the pan-Arab defeat of the Six Day War (June 1967) through the prism of state corruption. On the even of war, a police officer and journalist in an Upper Egypt village investigate a recent murder and theft, connecting both of them back to high-ranking state officials. The film offers a broader commentary on the failures of Pan-Arabism from within. |
