The Square looks at the hard realities faced day-to-day by people working to build Egypt’s new democracy. Cairo’s Tahrir Square is the heart and soul of the film, which follows several young activists. Armed with values, determination, music, humor, an abundance of social media, and sheer obstinacy, they know that the thorny path to democracy only began with Hosni Mubarak’s fall. The life-and-death struggle between the people and the power of the state is still playing out.
Camera Commune presents "Revolution and State Repression", a two day affair where we screen films on protests and the reaction of the state machinery to it.
The films will be preceded by 15 minute long discussions on the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 and the Gwangju Uprising of 1980.
