Sheikh Jackson

In the heartwarming and humorous film by Egyptian director Amr Salama, we follow the story of a young man who is both an ardent former fan of Michael Jackson and now serves as an imam in his community. When the unexpected death of the King of Pop occurs, our protagonist finds himself thrown into emotional turmoil as he grapples with reconciling his two worlds. The film offers a delicate balance between humor and sincerity, exploring themes such as identity, faith, and cultural clashes through the lens of this personal journey. Amidst the backdrop of modern Egyptian society, we witness how this unique individual navigates the challenges that arise when passion for one's idol collides with religious commitment, leading to moments of both laughter and introspection.
