Police brutality, sexual abuse, rape, and gang violence are daily realities for Cairo's two million street children. 'Al Ghaba' tells the story of a gang of these abandoned boys who fight to survive with the help of a pregnant drug dealer, Gamila. When a former gang leader is released from prison, a turf war ensues, and no one is left unaffected.
