Cairo Drive

Cairo Drive is a documentary that delves into the chaotic world of Cairo's traffic, where 14 million vehicles create a cacophony of sounds and gestures that represent an ongoing dialogue between the city's 20 million residents. With corruption rampant and traffic police ineffective, the city's residents have developed their own work-arounds to navigate the city's streets, likening it to a game of Frogger. Amidst the chaos, the film also touches upon the darker side of Cairo's traffic, including a poignant moment where a resident recounts the death of his daughter in a bus accident. The film takes a turn when revolution breaks out, bringing a sense of optimism and community among drivers, but ultimately returns to the same, age-old problems as the excitement subsides. With the future uncertain, Cairo Drive offers a unique and thought-provoking look into the city's traffic and its impact on its residents.
