Almuneataf, is a 1975 Iraqi movie, directed by Jafar Ali, and starring Abdel Jabbar Abbas, Zakia Khalifa, Youssef El Ani. with a runtime of 81 minutes.
Almuneataf is an Iraqi drama set in the politically charged Baghdad of the 1950s, following a circle of young idealists struggling against frustration and repression. The story centres on Saeed, a worker arrested for organising a labour strike; Sharif, a principled man who ultimately sacrifices his life for his beliefs; and Hamid, a romantic who nurses quiet hopes of marrying his colleague Salma. Against the turbulent backdrop of mid-century Iraq, the film traces how ordinary ambitions collide with an unforgiving social and political order. A poignant portrait of a generation caught between personal dreams and collective struggle, Almuneataf offers a compelling window into Arabic cinema's treatment of the 1950s Iraqi working class and the high cost of conscience under authoritarian pressure.
