I Am Not With Them, is a 2007 Egyptian movie, directed by Ahmed ElBadry, and starring Ahmed Eid, Bushra, Edward, with a runtime of 94 minutes. Content rating: PG-13.
I Am Not With Them is an Egyptian social comedy film that tackles the phenomenon of religious extremism through a lighthearted and accessible lens. Ahmed Eid stars as Amr, a reckless medical student who drifts through university life in a haze of drug use and academic neglect. Everything changes when he falls for his devout, hijab-wearing classmate Farah, played by Bushra, and decides that feigning religious devotion is the fastest route to her heart. He successfully courts and gets engaged to her, but his facade eventually crumbles when Farah uncovers the truth about his real lifestyle. The film uses comedy to comment on hypocrisy, youthful confusion, and the social pressures that drive young people toward extremist or performative religious behavior.
