Rakeen Saad delivered one of her most powerful performances to date in Boomah, the Jordanian crime thriller that made its world premiere at the 2026 Shanghai International Film Festival.

 

Saad starred as Boomah, a feared street enforcer struggling to survive on the margins of society. Living in a world shaped by corruption, fear, and hardship, her life took an unexpected turn when two vulnerable children forced her to confront her own ideas of family, belonging, and motherhood. As a new criminal force threatened the fragile balance of her world, Boomah found herself fighting not only for survival but also for her place in a society that had long treated people like her as disposable.

 

Directed by Zaid Abu Hamdan, Boomah captivated audiences with its gripping portrayal of resilience, survival, and the search for human connection in the most unforgiving circumstances.
