Tahrir Square in NYC
In one of the most powerful documentaries to
emerge from the Arab Spring, archaeologist Stefano Savona carries viewers
beyond the headlines and into the heart of the popular Egyptian revolution that
overthrew President Mubarak and touched off revolutions throughout the Middle
East: Tahrir Square. Captured with only a small digital camera and sound
recorder, his portrait of the seething, chanting crowds and electric protest
speeches is anchored by fluid exchanges with a handful of individual
protesters. A highlight of the New York, DOXA and Locarno film festivals, Tahrir:
Liberation Square documents
history in the making.
