Ikinji's Stories, is a 2023 Egyptian movie, directed by Marwa Ali Elsharkawy. with a runtime of 14 minutes.
Ikinji's Stories is a documentary that gives voice to two remarkable women from the King Mariout region, one of the oldest Bedouin communities in the Arab world. Their stories are both personal and historically significant, challenging assumptions about the lives and freedoms available to women in their time and place. The film preserves fragments of their memories, their joyful traditional songs, and their distinctive tattoos — all symbols of a way of life that belongs to the last generation of Bedouins who lived untouched by modern technology. A moving act of cultural preservation, Ikinji's Stories honours the resilience and vitality of women whose voices might otherwise have been lost to history.
