The recently released film “The Snake and the Ladder – Play of Children” is sparking controversy after its debut on the “Yango Play” platform, with some viewers deeming certain scenes too bold.
The backlash comes after EgyptAir issued an official statement responding to social media discussions regarding a clip from the film that featured the company’s flight attendant uniforms in a manner the airline considered inappropriate, and detrimental to the professional image of its cabin crew.
Public reaction on social media has been swift and critical, with comments including, “This film feels like it came from the dark web,” “Where was the censorship with this?” “The flight attendant scene is highly offensive,” “All of Asmaa Jalal’s outfits are inappropriate,” and “How was this even allowed to be released?”
