Egyptian Jeanne d’Arc follows in the footsteps of Cairene filmmaker ImanKamel in her journey to the western deserts where she discovers a diary written by a Bedouin girl named Jehanne. Inspired by Jehanne’s struggle to break free of patriarchal repression and to become a dancer, the filmmaker attempts to trace the whereabouts of Jehanne by reaching out to fellow Egyptian artists, all women, who share with her their own stories of aspiration and resistance over the last five years.
