Interview with Khaled Abou el Naga on the film, “Microphone” set in Alexandria, Egypt

Khaled Abou el Naga was on tour in the United States with the award winning film, “Microphone”, which he directed, produced, and was the lead actor in. He came to Minneapolis for the International Film Festival at St. Anthony Main Theater, and Lydia Howell and I had the chance to sit down and talk with him on KFAI Radio in Minneapolis. I found the film very compelling. It is set in the emerging underground cultural haven of Alexandria, Egypt, with characters that are NOT professional actors and were actually doing the things they do in the film in their daily lives.
