Ahmed Al-Sakka lost his sense of hearing for 3 days due to the “swarm”

The film The Swarm, which was released in Egyptian cinemas the day before yesterday, received the attention of the public and the Egyptian media because its events were taken from a true story and the events were taken from the files of Egyptians. It aims primarily to educate the public about the extent of the danger that Egypt faced during the January 25, 2011 revolution.

Most of the film's scenes used real military equipment and aircraft from the Egyptian Air Force, as the film's directors refused to rely on graphic techniques to make the film look more realistic, but it seems to have had an effect. This is confirmed by what happened to one of the film’s heroes, the artist Ahmed El Sakka, who lost his hearing for three days due to the last scene.

Al-Saqqa temporarily loses his hearing The scene shows a fighter plane passing close to the ground, and Al-Saqqa is standing underneath it. Despite being warned of the danger and not to stand in the area of the fighter plane, he insisted on appearing in the scene itself. Despite the staff's warning and advice to use a Doppler, he refused.

Al-Saqqa insisted on performing this scene to the point that he lost his hearing for three days, and the only sound he could hear during that period was the sound of the plane’s whistle. After receiving treatment, he was able to overcome this health crisis.

Details of the swarm movie The film The Squadron tells a true story of the Egyptian forces, as it reviews the facts of the military operation carried out by the Egyptian forces in the Libyan city of Derna in 2015 to confront ISIS. This is shown through the promo of the film in which Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi appeared while giving a speech about the events in Derna.

A group of Egyptian stars participate in the film, including Ahmed El Sakka , Hend Sabry, Aser Yassin, Karim Fahmy, Sherif Mounir and other stars. The film is written by Amr Abdel Halim, directed by Ahmed Galal, and produced by Tamer Morsi.
