has taken pan-Arab rights to abortion-themed Yemeni drama “The Burdened” , which is among works-in-progress presented at Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Souk project market.
The story, written by Gamal and Mazen Refaat, centers on Ahmed, Isra’a and their three children in Aden, Yemen, in 2019. It is based on true events experienced by the director with one of his close friends. Due to the country’s economic crisis both parents lose their jobs.
The project, now in post, brings together Yemen, Sudan and Saudi Arabia in a landmark co-production. “The Burdened” stars Khaled Hamdan, Abeer Mohammed, Samah Alamrani and Awsam Abdulrahman. This cosmopolitan blend of talents involved was part of the appeal for MAD Solutions. “We are so delighted to have acquired the distribution rights to this ground-breaking and heart-rending story,” said the company’s co-founders Alaa Karkouti and Maher Diab. “It is perfectly attuned to the company’s philosophy of aggressively seeking out filmmakers with significant creative potential and projects that link diverse cultures,” they added.
