Final Documentary - Early Marriage among Egyptian Students

An interesting phenomenon has been taking place in Cairo, Egypt. College students appear to be tying the knot earlier than the contemporary age. Mona Tawfik investigates.


The documentary is 12 minutes and 57 seconds long. The narration, including all the interviews -except the one with Ahmed Wagih- were recorded using an M-Audio recorder. The interview with Wagih was recorded using an iPhone.

Special thanks to my interviewees:
- Mr. Maged Afifi

Their input was very insightful and they all provided me with broad opinions regarding the topic. They gave the documentary a great flavor.
