Egyptian short film | "The Eloquent Peasant" (1970)
This film uses images to show one of the longest and most complete documents preserved in ancient Egypt - "The Eloquent Peasant". The full text covers a wide range of topics and plays an important role in studying the social classes and conditions of the Middle Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. The film is 20 minutes long and is directed by the famous Egyptian director Shadi Abdel Salam. The visual style is similar to the work "Pharaoh" (1966) by the famous Polish director Kawalerowicz. The restoration of this film was supported by the World Cinema Fund.

Fascinating to see ancient Egyptian culture preserved through film. The Eloquent Peasant's themes of social classes and conditions will provide valuable insights into the Middle Kingdom's society.
