What Comes Around is a raw look into the everyday lives of people in Rod El Farag, Cairo's poorer districts. The film captures the stark realities of survival—hunting for meat, scrounging for fruits, and the daily bread that often feels out of reach. The tone is intimate, almost voyeuristic, allowing you to feel the heat and grit of their environment. The pacing is unhurried, giving you time to absorb the weight of each situation. The community's reliance on 'al Gami’ya' is fascinating; it shows resilience and solidarity amidst struggle. Reem Saleh's direction really embraces the emotional landscape of her subjects, making it distinctive in the documentary landscape.
