Rashid & Rajab

Q&A filmmaker Mohammed Saeed Harib

After a freak accident causes a wealthy Emirati executive and an Egyptian fast-food deliveryman (who inhabits a very different place on the economic spectrum) to switch bodies, the two struggle to revert to their former selves, and they gain perspective into each other’s lives along the way. Filmmaker Mohammed Saeed Harib is well known in the UAE for his smart and pointed animated series Freej, which chronicles the lives of four women in Dubai. Rashid & Rajab, a slapstick comedy, is his live-action feature film debut.
