Ayman Zeidan selects Sa’ad Mina as the lead for his television series

Actor Sa’ad Mina is currently preparing to shoot his scenes for the television series “Milh al-Hayya” (“Life’s Salt”) with director Ayman Zeidan and screenwriter Hassan Youssif. Mina explained that the work focuses on the 1940s and discusses independent paths which eventually cross. Thus Mina explains that he portrays a journalist who eventually becomes the editor in chief of one of the newspapers of that time. Mina further explains: “Journalism is given a special treatment in that work. Those days were very different from the present in terms of the environment, the way of life and the way in which people dealt with each other. It was not uncommon to find a newspaper employing five persons only: a printing press operator, a chief editor, a fact-checker and one or more journalists. The work presents a picture of how life was back then as journalism at the time was more honest, important, effective and influential. I hope that journalism would return to the way it was back then.”On another note, actor Sa’ad Mina will begin filming his scenes in the television series “al-‘Oushq al-Harram” (“Forbidden Love”) over the coming few days. That work is directed by Tamer Ishaq. Mina had recently finished filming his scenes for the television series “Say’een Day’een”, directed by Faisal bani Marga, and the second part of “al-Dabbour” (“The Hornet”), a work directed by Tamer Ishaq.
