Country: Egypt. Languages: Arabic with English subtitles. Actors: Ahmed Elfishawy, Maged Elkedwany and Amhed Malek. Year: 2016. 94 minutes. Reviewed by: Korka Sall, University of Massachusetts Amherst. Set in Egypt, the film Sheikh Jackson portrays the loss of faith of a devoted imam when his idol, the international pop star, Michael Jackson died of a heart attack at the age of 50. The film is composed in the present life of Khaled, an imam and a flashback to his younger self growing up in the 1990s when he was called Doodle. He is later nicknamed Jackson by his friends and classmates due to his interests in music and his devotion to Michael Jackson. Khaled, the protagonist, grew up with a macho father, who, throughout his childhood, taught him how to be a man. According to his father, one of the most important characteristics of being a man is being able “not to show any emotions other than anger.” This is shown throughout the film as the father is constantly angry and beating Khaled. Growing up in this environment of toxic masculinity makes Khaled confused about how to manage his feelings.
