Heena Maysra, an Egyptian film directed by Khalid Yousuf, has come under fire for breaking taboos and 'tarnishing' Egypt's repuation, reported Gulf News. The film revolves around the living conditions for the inhabitants of a shantytown, echoing the daily grind of an estimated 15 million people living under similar circumstances in different parts of this country of 76 million. The film has been particularly panned for a scene involving lesbianism, a taboo-breaker in Egyptian cinema.
