In conversation with... Maggie Morgan

This month Emily Shurmer sits down with Egyptian filmmaker and writer, Maggie Morgan. They discuss how SAT-7's shares Maggie’s passion for human rights and how SAT-7 holds a place close to her heart, from showing her very first film, Asham, to her current role as SAT-7 Egypt's Head of Gender and Freedom of Religion and Belief.

During the conversation they chat about Maggie’s latest project, SAT-7 ARABIC programme Today Not Tomorrow, that’s filmed on the back of a lorry as it travels around communities in Egypt asking the questions that no one else is asking. They explore the practical challenges of filming in the bed of a truck and how tradition and societal norms are impacting women’s experience of pain and suffering. Their conversation ends with Maggie sharing some of the most powerful conversations they’ve had on the show and how they’ve impacted her filmmaking. Take a listen to this fascinating conversation and hear how Today Not Tomorrow is empowering women to ask questions.
