The Square
The Square, a new film by Jehane Noujaim (Control Room. Rafea: Solar Mama), looks at the hard realities faced day-to-day by people working to build Egypt's new democracy. Catapulting us to the actions spread across 2012 and 2011, the film provides a kaleidoscopic connection with the struggle. Cairo's Tahrir Square is the heart and soul of the movie, which follows a few younger activists. Equipped with conclusion, values, songs, comedy, a large amount of social media, and obstinacy, they are aware that the way to democracy began with Hosni Mubarek's collapse. The struggle between the state's power and the public is still playing out.
