Adopted at four years old by her father's brother and snatched from a childhood in a small village on the mountains of Troodos in Cyprus to move into half a room in busy Cairo, Hari Said, my "yaya", which is 'grandmother' in Greek set out on a lifelong journey to explore the "truth" as she calls it, perplexed by different faiths and religions she experienced growing up.

Just A Click Away: Final

This audio documentary is about Captain Nerin Salem, the first female captain and chief pilot in the private aviation sector in Egypt. She’s been flying for twenty years, especially since there were only five female pilots at the time, whereas it’s nearing twenty female pilots today. This is her journey, that has started ever since she was a child and knew that she wanted to be a pilot, and how she overcame the challenges that were thrown at her, whether from her own family or from society. This is for the dreamers out there: if you can dream it, no matter how young you are, you can do it.

Assignment 3: Nerin Salem Audio Documentary

In this interview, my final project partner Sadig El Tigani interviewed Dr. Yasmine El Shazly, Adjunct Assisant faculty member at the department of Sociology, Egyptology and Anthropology at the American University in Cairo. She talked about the interrelationship between one's journey of faith, religion and identity.

Dr. Yasmine El Shazly on Religion & Identity

On Sunday, February 18th, Joya El Aggar, Hanin Qandil & I went on a stroll through the AUC gardens to collect various natural sounds for our Audio Production 460 course, where we visited different spots and met different people. We walked by a guy listening to some music, walked down the stairs to the L'Aroma and met some people there ordering their morning coffee and complaining about the new non-smoking policy. We then made our way to the new designated smoking area on campus near to the fountains in the gardens, where the wind was strong, and carried the sounds of friends laughing nearby.
-NAT Sounds:
1- Overheard music
2- People ordering breakfast
3- Cigarettes lighter sounds
4- Smokers talking
5- Water fountain
6- Laughter 
7- Foot steps

A Stroll Through the AUC Gardens

This audio documentary is about the spiritual journey Hari Said embarked on, having been born Greek Orthodox and in an uneducated family. After moving to Cairo, and being exposed to several other religions and experiences, she started questioning her identity and now identifies as agnostic, believing in God, but following no specific religion.

This audio documentary was produced by Laila Said and Sadig El Tigani for the Audio Production course at the American University in Cairo, taught by Professor Kim Fox in the Spring semester of 2018.
