Directed by Taghrid Aboulhassan, ‘Snow White’ tells the story of Iman, portrayed by Sherif, as she navigates life and explores new emotional territories as a woman with dwarfism. This groundbreaking film is notable for being the first Egyptian production to feature a woman with dwarfism in a leading role within Arab cinema, marking a significant step forward in representation and inclusivity.
