CAIRO, 18 April 2005 — Young Egyptian actress Hanan Turk is in the process of preparing for her upcoming film about the life of Palestinian martyr Wafa’ Al-Idreesi. The film will be directed by Mohammad Abu Yousef and is written by Mohammad Salmawi.
Hanan was so fascinated by the script — because it reflects the humanistic aspect of the martyr’s life — that she decided to dedicate her life for the Palestinian cause. Hanan is reading everything that deals with Wafa’s life, in order to get to know every detail of her character.
The actress thinks that the film will be an important turning point in her cinematic career, especially if she portrays a credible image of Wafa, who symbolizes true faith and courage.
