00:00Before Netflix and before Shahid
00:02One Arab country already owned the screens
00:04But how?!
00:05In the 1950s, Egypt was the third largest film producer in the entire world
00:10Studio Masar in 1935 gave Egypt the ability to churn out unforgettable cinema
00:15And stars like Omar Sharif and Saad Hussni gave it the soul
00:19They created films that made the whole Arab world feel like one place
00:23Today, Arab content is having a moment with Netflix and Shahid
00:26مع الفوضل، المقاطق والقالي، ودعاء الذين مدعمون لأسراراتي
00:31and they are all following a model Egypt built 80 years ago
00:34The lesson is, Egypt didn't have the biggest budget
00:37but it had the best stories
00:39Which Arab country do you think is going to dominate the screens next?
