Director Yusuf Shine's first film was invited by Cannes and lost to Army Field Hospital, which was selected as one of the top 100 films in Egyptian film history and adapted from a novel by Abdel Rahman El Sharkawi. At that time, Egypt was still under British colonial rule, reflecting the situation in Egypt's rural areas in the 1930s, when farmers lived on their own land to grow cotton, and annual irrigation came. Farmers in the town were told by the government that their irrigation time had been shortened to only a few days, and they United with the rich and powerful to fight for their infringed interests. In addition, Mahmoud El-Meliguy, the protagonist of this film, performed very well. The role of Mohamed Abu Swelam, a farmer, was always in a fierce struggle. On the one hand, he hoped to protect his land from the invasion of the rich and powerful, on the other hand, he expressed hopelessness for the farmers' struggle. The facts also proved his pessimistic view. The film also expresses the director's desire for Arab people to dominate the Middle East (Israel launched the third Middle East War in 1967 and Egypt lost much of its territory.) the beginning of the film's name in Arabic is also the symbol of the PLO.
