Director/Comedian Ahmed Ahmed Present
If there's one thing that culturally binds us all, it's that we all love a good laugh. Just Like Us subscribes to that philosophy wholeheartedly, as the film uses the power of stand-up comedy to break down barriers between the west and the east. This documentary sees acclaimed standup comedian Ahmed Ahmed travel to Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Egypt, demonstrating comedy's ability to unite, not to mention his own comedic chops. Oft-documented himself on numerous talk shows, this film sees Ahmed turning an astute camera on himself, and his witty eye on the viewer.
With an impressive and equally hilarious supporting cast of stand-up comics in tow, Ahmed Ahmed's first documentary plots a path for a new generation looking to make a difference in a funny, meaningful way.
