Praised for its powerful narrative and authentic portrayal of LGBTQ+ experiences, The Judgment has earned critical acclaim, including an honorable mention at the Tallgrass Film Festival.
LOS ANGELES, March 23, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Here TV, the premier LGBTQ+ streaming and cable platform, proudly announces the exclusive premiere of the compelling new film, "The Judgment," now available for streaming. Directed by Marwan Mokbel, the film delves into the harrowing journey of an Egyptian gay couple confronting societal prejudices and supernatural forces.
"The Judgment" follows Mo (Junes Zahdi) and Hisham (Freddy Zahdi), who return to Egypt from the U.S. due to a family emergency. In a society rife with homophobia, they conceal their relationship, presenting themselves as mere friends. Their ordeal intensifies when they become targets of witchcraft intended as punishment for their "homosexual sins," plunging Mo into religious terror and unearthing deep-seated fears from his past.
"We are thrilled to bring 'The Judgment' exclusively to Here TV," said David Millbern, Head of Content for Here TV. "It's a powerful narrative that addresses identity, fear, and societal prejudice, aligning perfectly with our mission to showcase authentic LGBTQ+ experiences."
Director Marwan Mokbel shared, "The Judgment is an exploration of sexuality, cultural identity, and spirituality through supernatural horror. When Mo is cursed, they tell him not to fear because God protects good people, which brings up the question he always brushed off: Does he believe he's a good person? Suddenly, the question can't be postponed any longer, for it can cost him his life. Through his battle, we explore how societal judgments can haunt us both metaphorically and literally."
The film has garnered critical acclaim, including an Honorable Mention for Outstanding Narrative Feature at the Tallgrass Film Festival.
Audiences can stream "The Judgment" exclusively on Here TV.
