BACK TO THE SQUARE by Petr Lom
(Egypt, Norway, Canada 2012) vo. Arabic, English // subtitles: Italian, English
Five Stories from the Egyptian revolution. A year after the euphoria on Tahrir Square, the demonstrators’ goals have not even come close to being reached. The country is ruled with an iron fist and there is still no democracy. The ‘eye of the world’ has moved elsewhere. How things have been in Egypt since 25 January 2011 is explained using five portraits of people from various walks of life.
