The Square

The Egyptian Revolution has been an ongoing rollercoaster over the past two and a half 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: from a brutal army dictatorship willing to crush protesters with military tanks, to a corrupt Muslim Brotherhood using mosques to manipulate voters.

"WE GO TO THE SQUARE TO DISCOVER THAT WE LOVE LIFE OUTSIDE IT, AND TO DISCOVER THAT OUR LOVE FOR LIFE IS RESISTANCE."

A Directors Guild of America 2013 winner for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Documentary.
