SeasonDocFest Live From Sheffield

On a corner-lot in the Egyptian city of Alexandria, female weightlifters train to become Olympic champions.

Following in the footsteps of some of Egypt’s most famous athletes, 14-year-old Zebiba trains under the tutelage of the visionary Captain Ramadan. Can Zebiba direct her focus to be the weightlifting champion that her coach feels certain she is capable of becoming?

From Inverness to Brighton, Belfast to Cardiff, audiences from across the UK will be able to enjoy a number of titles from Sheffield DocFest's Official 2021 Selection simultaneously with audiences in Sheffield. Queen's Film Theatre will screen five films from the festival as part of Live From Sheffield.
