Country's trouble captured in film (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

egypt

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'country's' is the definition.
(Egypt is an example)

'trouble captured in film' is the wordplay.
'trouble' becomes 'gyp' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'captured in' indicates putting letters inside.
'film' becomes 'et'.
'gyp' placed within 'et' is 'EGYPT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for egypt that I've seen before include "Land of the lower Nile" , "Country of Pharaohs" , "Nile country" , "African country, site of an ancient civilization" , "Arab republic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
