The River
5.9
The film narrates the world of fishermen, where they face greed and exploitation by a figure called "Sabti," who exploits the fishermen and takes everything from them, reaping the profits while they receive nothing. Mahmoud (the leader of the Nu'mani tribe) confronts him, refusing to be exploited, but he soon disappears under mysterious circumstances, leading to the cessation of the struggle.
