Waves, is a 2012 Moroccan movie, directed by Ahmed Nour. with a runtime of 71 minutes.
Waves is a personal essay film in which the director turns the camera on his own memories of the Egyptian city of Suez, a place that holds deep significance in both his personal life and in modern Egyptian history. At the heart of the film is Suez's pivotal role in the 2011 revolution — the city was among the first to erupt in protest, its streets among the most fiercely contested in those early, electrifying days of the uprising. Blending personal recollection with historical reflection, Waves occupies the intimate space between memoir and political documentary, asking how a city shapes its inhabitants and how ordinary people find themselves on the frontlines of history. A thoughtful and deeply felt contribution to Egyptian documentary filmmaking.
