After episode five of Mohamed Mounir’s "The Singer" series aired recently, Nubians were angered by what they deemed to be misrepresentations of their displacement from their homes in 1963 to accommodate construction of the Aswan High Dam under President Gamal Abdel Nasser.
The Nubian page on Facebook categorically rejected the scenes, which it said inaccurately represented Nubians’ displacement and showed them as happy to leave their homes. In one scene, a child holds Abdel Nasser’s picture while in the background plays a song Nubians usually listen to on happy occasions.
