As I Want is a documentary film in which the director turns her camera into a weapon against sexual harassment in the streets of Cairo. Galvanized by the public rape of her closest friend, she embarks on a deeply personal investigation that doubles as a journey of self-awakening. As she documents the harassment faced by women in Egyptian public spaces, she is simultaneously forced to confront the weight of her own haunting past. Raw, courageous, and unflinching, the film captures the tension between personal trauma and collective silence, asking urgent questions about gender, safety, and agency in contemporary Arab society. It is both a political act and an intimate confession.
