The Egyptian Revolution has been an ongoing rollercoaster over the past three years. Through the news, we only get a glimpse of the bloodiest battle, an election, or a million man march. At the beginning of July 2013, we witnessed the second president deposed within the space of three years.

 

The Square is an immersive experience, transporting the viewer deeply into the intense emotional drama and personal stories behind the news. It is the inspirational story of young people claiming their rights, struggling through multiple forces, in the fight to create a society of conscience.  The Square was not shown in Egyptian cinemas yet, but at the NVIC you can already join the screening of this Oscar-nominated documentary

 

With: Khalid Abdalla, Ramy Essam, Ahmed Hassan, Aida ElKashef, Dina Amer
