In her new television series “Public Secret”, Egyptian actress Ghada Adel plays the role of an economics professor at the Cairo American University who believes that political economics can help determine the fate of a country. She explains to her students about the hegemony of rich countries over poorer ones. The drama begins when her strong views ruffle feathers. The cast includes Jordanian actor Iyad Nassar. In a recent statement, Ghada said she wanted to do something different to prove to her critics that she can achieve success in whatever she does.
