Black Tiger

A young Egyptian goes to Germany to work. He has known a trade since he was a boy. There he starts work in a factory. Not knowing the language makes it harder. He cannot make himself understood properly. A colleague taunts him over the colour of his skin. The taunting turns into open hostility. In the end he loses his work permit. Around then he meets a trainer. The man starts coaching him in boxing. The young man finds a way for himself in the ring. The name he is given is the Black Tiger. The story is adapted from a real life. Ahmed Zaki and Ahmed Mazhar appear in the hundred and twenty minute film, an Egyptian production Atef Salem finished in 1984.
