الفاجومي, is a 2011 Egyptian movie, and starring Khaled El Sawy, Salah Abdallah. Farah Youssef.
Al-Fajoumi is a biographical Egyptian film documenting the extraordinary life of Ahmed Fouad Negm, the legendary Egyptian colloquial poet known by his village nickname Al-Fajoumi. The film traces his lifelong resistance against the British occupation of Egypt, political repression, and imprisonment under three successive presidents, chronicling a poet whose sharp verses were powerful enough to threaten those in power. Central to the narrative is his iconic artistic partnership with musician Sheikh Imam Issa, whose compositions gave Negm's poetry its unforgettable voice. The film culminates with the Egyptian revolution — an event Negm famously predicted decades before it arrived — delivering a deeply moving portrait of dissent, artistry, and the enduring power of the people's voice.
