‘The Settlement’: first trailer for Mohamed Rashad’s Berlin Perspectives title

Screen can unveil a first look at Mohamed Rashad’s The Settlement, which is set to world premiere in the new competitive Perspectives strand at the upcoming Berlin International Film Festival. Inspired by true events, the story follows two brothers — a 23-year-old troublemaker and his 12-year-old brother — who live in a marginalised community of Alexandria, Egypt. The pair are offered jobs by the local factory after their father’s death in the workplace as compensation for their loss and in lieu of pursuing legal action. But as they navigate their new roles, they begin to question whether their father’s death was truly accidental. The cast of newcomers and real factory workers includes Adham Shoukry and Ziad Islam as the two brothers alongside Hanaday Abd El Khaleh and Emad Ghoniem. The film marks the narrative feature debut of Rashad, following his 2016 documentary Little Eagles exploring 1970s left-wing activism in Egypt from the perspective of his own family history.
