Asmaa or Asma'a (Arabic: أسماء) is a 2011 Egyptian drama film, and is the first such feature film to present AIDS patients sympathetically.[3] Written and directed by Amr Salama, the film tells the history of a woman with HIV who struggles to live under the burden of keeping her HIV status secret, and the dilemma she faces when offered the opportunity to appear on a television talk show. It is based on a true story of a woman who died from a burst gallbladder after doctors refused to operate on her because she had AIDS.[4] The director, Amr Salama, intended the film to raise awareness about AIDS: in his words, to correct the "misconceptions and lies" about the disease, since more people are dying from the misconceptions than from the lack of treatment.[5] The film is not about AIDS, but rather the battle against social prejudice in Egypt.[6]
