Also known as Terrorism and BBQ (Al-irhab wal kabab)
Terrorism and Kebab is a farce denouncing the absurdity of bureaucracy in modern Egypt. Adel Imam, Egypt' s leading comic actor, is a father who wants to move his son to a school closer to home. He goes to El-Mugamaa, the center of Cairo's monolithic bureaucracy, to pick up the required documents. Frustrated by the lack of response, he ends up attacking a fundamentalist official who spends most of his time praying. A heavily armed police unit puts in an appearance and in the melee a machine gun accidentally finds its way into Imam's hands. As a terrorist, his demands to the Minister of Internal Affairs are simple: Sish Kebab, made of high-class lamb. After having a hearty meal with his hostages, however, his demands become more political. He asks for medicine, better schools and ultimately for the cabinet's resignation.
