The Virgin, the Copts and Me
Namir Abdel Messeeh
2012 - 85 min - HD - Couleur - France

Namir is a French filmmaker of Egyptian origin. One day he watches a videotape of the Virgin Mary’s apparition in Egypt with his mother who, like millions of other Copts, sees the Virgin on the screen while he sees nothing. Skeptical, Namir travels back to Egypt, to make a film about the bizarre occurrence of these apparitions.
