"We Are Egypt"

 

"We Are Egypt" is the story of the struggle for democracy in Egypt that led to the historic uprising in January-February 2011. Filmed on the ground in Egypt over the preceding fourteen months, this story is told through the eyes of Egypt's youthactivists, labor movements and political opposition figures.
